Coke??? Not in my part of East Texas. It’s Sody Water (pronounced Soa-dee Water) when i relocated there in mid 90s. That was hard to stomach. Even stores had signs on them advertising such. The term has been slowly fading away.

All in all, this list should be divided to local jargon. Half of them I never heard of or encountered when traversing the state.

Ya sure y'all's sho'nuff from 'round here? Here's a li'l test:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went inta the 'lanter hardware store wearin' ma ovahauls, an' a sweet young thang said,

"Howdy! Kin ah he'p y'all?"

I said back: "Yes'm! Ah'm fixin to set a spread for the sallymanders..."

She went d'reckly to a she'f an' handed me what I wuz after.

Whut did she hand me?

P.S. One passable answer: " DAMFINO!"
