For example, I once said that someone had “more money than sense,” and my friends had never heard that before. It seemed so strange to me because I have heard that saying all my life. I also have Southern California slang and sayings like “dude” and “butthurt.” I have a difficult time distinguishing between a highway and freeway because in California, we mainly have freeways. It took some time getting use to the Texas slang, such as “skeeters,” “howdy,” and “fixin’ to.” The most shocking thing I experienced when I came to Texas was everyone saying “y’all.” In California, I only heard it when people were either trying to be funny or “country.” After a couple years, I do not really hear the distinction anymore, but I have yet to say
