I still use feeder

---

What else would a proper Texan call it?

---

It is a outer road here

And I always thought that feeder was pretty much Houston and the surrounding area

My folks had a get together at their place and my mother and father-in-law were invited. About 30 minutes after they SHOULD have showed up, my wife got a call. They were lost. They had made it all the way from San Antonio to College Station, no problem. They got off at the right exit, even. But they went for miles on the access road looking for "Feeder road" to turn on.

Dad had told them to "stay on the feeder road until the stop sign and take a right."

THOT

I've always wondered who the Frontage family were. They must've pretty important folks in the early days to have so many roads named after them.

I heard at some point that everyone doesn't use the phrase "tumped over", I don't know if I believe it.

Here is B/CS, there are people who insist on using the phrase "C-Stat." These people are idiots.

---

Still not as bad as "tine" users.

---

C-Stat = College Station = bad

Tine = Houston = very bad

C@L = Seattle = good

What's a road apple?

Tine is a joke about a pronunciation; not sure if anyone seriously calls it that.

Is "cedar chopper" unique to the Hill Country (usually referring to an Ingram resident) ?

Interesting you bring that up. I had never even heard the term until I read the article below. It's been a while, but I remember it being a good read.

Thanks for the link to the article.

There is also a term used about Fredericksburg folks who are of German descent, but as I have never been banned on TexAgs... no way I'm typing that.

It's Aggie specific, but I've always loved that campus squirrels are called Quad Dogs.

I think that's local (or regional). Hondo Crouch used to write a comical column in the 1960's or so under the pseudonym "Peter Cedarstacker."

I've heard of Hondo Crouch over the years,

Always assumed it was a slang word for everyman like John Doe.

Never realized it was a cartoon.

Tump can mean a couple different things.

You can tump over in a canoe, raft or innertube.

Tump can also be used to describe spilling a large container of liquid, like a bucket of any size, or a jug, maybe even a large 44oz drink. Probably no smaller than that. Then you'd be in spill territory.

In order for something to be 'tumped over,' in my mind it is a requirement that some type of spill occur.

Solid. Liquid. Doesn't matter.

You can't tump over an empty bucket.

If nothing spills, thats not a real tump in my mind.

But if that bucket is half full of paint, and you tump that ***** over you got a real problem.

Thats a real deal tump.

What are your thoughts on tub tumping?

If you tump over a tub, you got to have some sort of spill.

You can intentionally tump over a tub.

Bit some liquid has got to spill.

Doesn't have to be full.

Even a little bit of water is fine.

You just can't tump over an empty tub.

It don't work like that.

B*%h be crazy

Does anyone outside of the Hill Country have a reason to refer to someone from Ingram at all?

Agreed, it's an amalgamation of toppled and dumped, implying some sort of spill or scattering.

Also, it's a service road not a feeder or frontage.

Gonna rep for my 361 for a second.

In Corpus, people very widely call porta potties "Skid O Cans," which is just the (terrible) name of a local company. I've pointed this out to several people and they don't realize it's localized to Corpus or that it's the name of a company.

Another Corpus word is pope'. Pope' is just when someone has a wedgie. "Hey, you have pope'." "Hold on, let me pull out my pope'."

"BOB" for Breakfast On a Bun is a little more widely used. But many of my friends from elsewhere in the state hadn't heard that before. Growing up in Corpus, we ordered "BOBs" for breakfast from Whataburger, the local bakery, or from the cafeteria.



Edit: Just realized the accent e' in pope' wasn't showing up. Texags keeps scrubbing the character out to say "pop," so we'll just go with e'

Port-o-cans are Honey Buckets in the PNW. Same kind of thing, they're named after a big local company that rents and services the things.

They call them bo-johns here. Never heard that one before.

We call em ****ters.

Exactly. The only place I've ever heard it actually used is an h-tine rap song.

We just spent a week in Maine where if your great grandparents didn't live there you're "From Away"

Out of state bird watchers in the Valley are called Twichers.

The Southern Oregonians here call the Cali transplants "soy backs." A play on "wet back."

I went to Ingram high school and we called the white trash Cedar Hackers. I lived in Hunt and although I've cut down a lot of cedar I'm not a cedar hacker.
