fufu 580 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 What are some of the words that people where you live say that only people in that area would understand? Some from here are: Reet - It can mean 'hello', 'alright', 'a lot', 'fine', 'goodbye' and a lot of other things. It's in pretty much every conversation at some point. Usually more than once. Sack - It's a word people here use to call people from different areas a 'ballsack' without them knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0neanias 13,516 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 There is one vowel in that entire list R, l, and m are vocalic consonants, that is they can form the nucleus of a syllable (prd, vlk, osm). "Smrž, pln skvrn, zvlhl z mlh" is a valid sentence in Czech. The same phenomenon occurs even in English (better, saddle, sudden), though in that area, English keeps itself in check.
