Any other Texas ever heard of "yonder"? When my husband and I lived 4 years in Nashville, besides the obliging y'all and fixin to, his entire office were in stitches to hear him say he lived "out yonder" (pointing to the county to the south). Out yonder sounds like "ow-chonder." Can be used like "Take that thing out yonder."

HEARD it? Hell, we USE it every day in my house. Only, we say, "You're looking for your boots? They're over-yonder in the back of the garage." But, other times, it's used alone, as in, "Honey, yonder in the far side of the den is a spider. Can you please kill it? Because, I'm fixin' to scream if you don't."
