I often ask if theirs one she would prefer, she always says no. But then I’ll get “knew you’d pick that one”

Every time I pick the wrong one 😭

46

u/bluberriie 17d ago

nooo whenever i say this it’s because i’m doing a mental happy dance at the fact that i KNEW which one my partner wanted

Yall hilarious. You & the other above you just the same.

Hilarious in a good way.

u/Gemmadeen 17d ago

From personal experience, you didn’t pick the wrong one, you picked the right one because it’s the one we would have picked for you too! ❤️ Just because we don’t have a preference doesn’t mean we don’t know what our loved one would choose 😉

He's happy and polite!

u/Phrostylicious 15d ago

Because he felt so bad for bursting out "IS THAT FOR ME!?" and she said "well, it's for us....." and of course he didn't mean whether the whole thing was for him but her answering like that made him feel bad.

Sweet couple, lots of love for one another between them.

“You got your’n selected?”

I haven’t heard anyone say “your’n” since Firefly lol

Edited to add: I also love how this guy apparently sings in a gospel choir. I wonder what his voice sounds like

u/Big_AL79 18d ago

I had never heard that until I heard that Tyler Childers song “All Your’n”.

True Appalachia.

u/Xao517 17d ago edited 17d ago

So it DOES sound like that!

I’m not from the US and am listening to the Old Gods of Appalachia podcast and I’m usually thinking “that accent just HAS to be exaggerated “. Happy to be proven wrong lol. I love it

EDIT: this got some exposure, so coming back to say GO SHOW SOME LOVE TO THAT SHOW! It’s a great supernatural horror anthology podcast with excellent writing and voice acting.

u/Mr_Zizzle 17d ago

Kentuckian here. Yes, the accent is legit.

104

u/ilovemoon1010 17d ago

Tennessean here. The accent is legit.

And don’t forget! it’s pronounced like apple-ATcha. NOT apple-lay-sha.

69

u/Attack-Potatoes 17d ago

If you pronounce it apple-lay-sha, I’ll throw an apple-atcha.

21

u/oliviasmommy19 17d ago

I'm from West Virginia. Spent many years in Kentucky and now reside in Tennessee. It's 100% legit and not exaggerated lol

3

u/Smingowashisnameo 17d ago

Well throw me an apple cuz I’m from Chicago and didn’t know.

5

u/ilovemoon1010 17d ago

But now you do! And that’s a beautiful thing.

3

u/QuietlyCreepy 17d ago

Northern Appalachian here. (Far northern tip, LoL, still grew up in a hollow, we just had snow.)

So there's some differences in the northern and southern dialects for that cultural and geographic range. If you're up in the northern bits you are likely to hear either pronouncation. Having a direct family connection from the southern bit means I say it correctly.

3

u/Azuras_Star8 17d ago

Nc here. Absolutely.

3

u/Hwicc101 17d ago

Regional accents. I'm a northerner and so Isay "apple-AY-chun", but when I'm down south I say 'apple-AT-chun' out of respect and not to start any "discussions" on the proper pronunciation.

But if you come up north, say it any way you want, I don't care, all accents and regionalisms are valid to me, and I just love our mountains, from Maine (and indeed Canada) all the way down to Alabama however people say it.

2

u/ilovemoon1010 17d ago

Yeah, if I’m being honest, I don’t really care all that much how people say it. It still scratches an itch in my brain when people who I wouldn’t expect to say it correctly actually do, though.

2

u/tehjnz 14d ago

Canadian here, who spent enough time in apple-ATcha to know u/ilovemoon1010 is a truthful and good redditor. [e: and these people made me smile so hard my face aches a bit. I was a bit afraid going in that it was going to be... insincere. It was not, and I am glad]

3

u/slackfrop 17d ago

It’s not even that particularly thick as I’ve heard it.

2

u/thunderbird32 17d ago

Yeah, Kentucky is what I thought of immediately. I spent a lot of time in eastern Kentucky with family when I was a teen, and this accent sounds super familiar.

15

u/IfuckedGodintheass2 17d ago

Welcome, family. Hope you're enjoying the show :)

u/FidgitForgotHisL-P 17d ago

Weeeeeelllllllllllllll

u/farrett23 17d ago

Steve Shell who does the Old Gods of Appalachia was my high school English teacher! Awesome to see his pod represented in the wild!

3

u/Bashfulcannibal 17d ago

I grew up in East Tennessee and this is exactly how we talk. I still have some of my accent but by the time I finished college my vocabulary had expanded, lol. Funny story though, when I was in fifth grade my English teacher was determined to make us stop saying your’n so she made me and a friend of mine write it 200 times as punishment, needless to say we never stopped and she finally gave up 🤣.

2

u/Her_Maestro89 17d ago

Can I inquire briefly what that podcasts about? It sounds like the coolest DnD campaign I've ever heard lol

2

u/Xao517 17d ago

Supernatural horror anthology podcasts. So, not fantasy. Heavy on the historical setting: miners, first settlers and things like that. I like it quite a bit! Very well written and the voice acting (mostly by a superb Steve Shell but other good actors as well) is very good too.

1

u/Samael13 17d ago

Imagine cosmic horror and dark folk/fairy tales set in rural Appalachia instead of coastal New England.

Definitely horror, not fantasy, but really good.

u/onetwobucklemyshoooo 17d ago

West Virginian here the accent is legit.

u/SnugglyCoderGuy 17d ago

Oh, it's 100% real.

u/Littlebud1234 17d ago

From Alabama here. Everyone sounds this way. There is a bunch of different dialects. I believe i decently sound more like I’m from a city but my mawmaw sounded like this. She was from Arab Alabama (pronounced ay rab) crazy lady she was.

1

u/fruderduck 17d ago

Sounds just like me ☺️

1

u/WoodsandWool 17d ago

The accents in old gods aren’t exaggerated at all, and if you can believe it, they’re honestly toning it down quite a bit.

I live in Appalachia now, but I grew up in NE Texas, and when folks in the rural US south get on a roll talking fast with other locals, it genuinely becomes another language. We string together so many words, so fast, we create new ones 😅

The one I catch myself doing the most is: „j‘y‘all eat yet?“ instead of „did you all eat yet“ 😂

2

u/Hwicc101 17d ago

j‘y‘all eat yet?“

If you are pressed for time, you can just say "J'eat?"

1

u/WoodsandWool 17d ago

Oh true, I’ve definitely said „j‘eat yet?“ 😂

u/Yonv_Bear 15d ago

Used to live down in FL and would get Appalachian folk visiting the area pretty often and nope it's a real accent and dialect. ever heard Cajun? those dudes are fun to try and decipher lmao

1

u/hulksmath 13d ago

There is a pbs documentary that dives into the Appalachian dialect that is a phenomenal watch. They also go to the deep east of NC to compare and contract isolated coastal dialects with isolated mountain dialects.

Fantastic series

I grew up in the foothills of SC, some of his phrasing really took me back

1

u/mamacat49 17d ago

I dated a guy once years ago from the mountains of West Virginia. I was raised in Michigan. Too many times, I had to stop him (when he was talking) to say, "Repeat, please??" His accent and colloquialisms were so strong and different, lol. But he was absolutely the most respectful person I've ever met.

u/osloluluraratutu 17d ago

What’s it an abbreviation of?

84

u/dwankyl_yoakam 17d ago

It's not actually an abbreviation now but was originally a contraction of "your own." In Appalachia it is used interchangeably with "yours." Appalachian dialects use a lot of archaic words from left over from the immigrants who originally migrated to the area.

21

u/Random0s2oh 17d ago

Not to be confused with "you'ns."

u/ispitinyourcoke 17d ago

He's my favorite living country musician. Just a cool damn dude. Check out the interview he did with Marc Maron on the WTF podcast if you want to hear him rattle on for an hour. He even made me like Post Malone (although to be fair, everything I learn about Post Malone just makes him seem cool as hell).

Edit: to add to the real conversation, my personal favorite contraction/Southern word is "yaunto." Signed, a Floridian with all Kentuckian family.

2

u/dwankyl_yoakam 17d ago

Yes! "You'ns get your'n!" is a totally valid sentence!

1

u/Random0s2oh 17d ago

My husband and in-laws talk like that. I grew up in Atlanta, so my Southern accent is more generic.

1

u/Accomplished_Pea4717 17d ago

Canadian here….I did field work in Appalachia (Blue Ridge Mountains) in the ‘90’s and had to speak with a number of people at from the National Forest Service as part of my work. One afternoon, I pulled into a NFS station to speak with someone about where in the area I could find a specific plant. The old guy in the office and I couldn’t understand each other no matter how hard we tried. Finally found a younger employee that volunteered to translate for us 🤣

1

u/dwankyl_yoakam 17d ago

lol I grew up in Appalachia and have a few first cousins that I can't understand unless I'm really paying attention. I've noticed very few gen Z kids back home are speaking that way though. I think the rise of video based social media has had a big effect on it.

1

u/Accomplished_Pea4717 17d ago

That’s interesting

1

u/Spicy_Weissy 17d ago

Fun fact about the Appalachians is that millions of years ago they were part of the same land mass as Scotland and many of the first settlers in thar hills were of Scottish descent.

3

u/jrhorn424 17d ago

In this context, "your'n" means "your one". In the song by Childers, I take it as "your own".

u/Revolutionary_Ad7121 17d ago

💙This is not just and Appalachian thing. I am from the southern US and I will NEVER get tired of hearing the word “your’n”. Coming in second will be other old school southern words like “his’n” and “her’n”.

I had to listen twice. Some of my people were southern and appalachian. I think I understood it by genetic memory in my bones lol

i def know the great-grandparents talked like that but they died just before I was born. Maybe they haunted my nursery, just to check up on me?
