Here's a good Appalachian word combo: writin' stick

as in, "Kin I borruh yer writin' stick?"

other faves: vomick (vomit) and swolled (swollen)
No, not out of line at all. I'm really a Cincinnati girl so I'm still getting used to the culture of all y'all northerners up near Dayton.

One thing I'll tell you, y'all don't know what's good pizza. Everyone seems totally enamored of Marion's. Why the heck? It's not good! LaRosa's, that's some good pizza.

Does Dayton have a dialect? I haven't heard any. Sounds kind of bland to me, after Cincy's blend of Appalachian, bluegrass drawl, and German.
