Thread: Educational Standards Texas

You can tell it's from Texas, they actually used the word "Rowdy" in a publication

Ah extremist education views. Creationism and abstinence-only sex ed. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... like a monkey


Sorry Louisiana, I couldn't find one for Texas.

Only in Texas Kinda like the phrase "them there".

I am from Texas and I don't recall ever using the word rowdy other than at the "rowdy coral" in my elementary school's library. It was just a little area fenced off in the middle of the library where the librarian would read to us.

Most of the accent you'll think of for Texans is actually words Texans use in jest. For example "them there."

We might actually say look at them there hogs boss.

But we're just joking.



Edit: Oh but when we get dog tired our twain comes out full hardy!
Though I do say howdy for hello to people I don't know. If I do know them then it is just a polite hi or something.

It was a pretty common word with Mississippi rednecks in the 80's. They would say stuff like, "Things was gettin' kind of rowdy at Tommy's house Saturday night." I never hear it any more.

Hehe.

From now on when you rush through something avoiding good review you pulled a McLeroy. The McLeroy beam!
