You Ain't From Around These Parts Are Ya?

You Ain't From Around These Parts Are Ya is a delightful book filled with Appalachian sayings, zingers, and downright interesting overtones from traditional lifestyles handed down over the generations. Each saying has a history and was created to be short and simply, yet very potent in its meaning. The sayings are reflective of a time when the mountains were isolated and hardy men and women made a living by the sweat of their brow. They represent the innocence of the mountain people as well as their sharp wit. The book touches upon the cultural mixtures and the influences it had upon the people. The southern twang when speaking brings an added beauty to the quotes. For the sayings represent a bygone era when there were family values paramount in the house. They represent plain talk, honest communication, and a manner of discipline that has waned in our present-day society. With over sixteen hundred sayings, the author has helped you begin your journey into the wondrous path of being a Hill Billy and being dang proud of who you are. You all come sit a spell and sup some lemonade while ya read. DC
