I thought pappy was always mispronouncing that one; he would get all flustered when we "tole" him it was a "chimney". Years later I finally discovered it is actually a "chibley".

Others: "Dern tootin'", "sho'nuff", "britches" "well ah'll be...." and we eat supper in the South.

The Southern language is so colorful.

We eat breakfast, lunch, and supper. For the longest time, I had no idea what anyone meant by the word "dinner." :)
