What's New
2-23-06
I added take something to to the Yankish page. Thanks to Barbara for the submission. I have a few Scottish words to add over the next few days. Long time visitors will note how incredibly lazy we are here. Must be the heat. Anyway, I also deleted some links that no longer work. I finally removed the "Dueling Banjoes" MIDI. No more annoying music as the page loads.
5-23-05
I added angry, pissed, and queue to the British page, and gam to the Scottish page.. I also finished and uploaded the wireless version of Y2S.
5-22-05
I'm working on a WAP version of Yanks for cellphones. You can use it in cases where you can't get near a computer. I guess. Just something to do with this site. I don't know what I'm doing anymore. This site stagnates.
4-3-05
I am giving away 35 GMail invites to whoever wants them. This will last until I have given away all 35. If I have any left over after May 1st, I will drop the "one per address" rule.
3-20-05
Happy Ostara everyone! I added Southern Dialect Quiz to Links. Not much of a update, but it's been a while since this site's been touched.
10-30-04
Added some new words. I also uploaded a text file with a lot of British-American translations. I didn't write this file, but I did correct one obvious mistake in the American spelling. Also new additions to the wordlists will be in bold font until next update.
We promised last year that we were going to implement a new format, however I lost my Internet access last November and K didn't know the site password.
In other news, "Yankish to Southern" turns five years old in November! I'm hoping now that I'm back and K knows the password, we'll be able to update a lot more often. We're thinking about bringing back our old message board from two or three years ago. Nobody ever used the thing though. I'm also thinking about bringing back Yank's sister-site, "Fighters for Southern Independence". It had a lot of Civil War information, factual, not slanted one way or the other.
As always, if y'all have any new words to add, put them in our guestbook and we'll (eventually) add them.
October 2, 2003
Well, I deleted the foreign languages. There will be a lot of changes coming up. K and I are working on an entirely new concept for this page. The tables will still be here, but a lot will be different. We're gonna try to debut the new format on November 13, Y2S's four year aniversary.
July 29, 2003
Added a link to AllThingsSouthern.com. Nothing much else to do. Still trying to find all those Aussie words. Come on y'all. Send in your yankish words and their translation!
July 17, 2003
Created Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and Korean pages. I also changed various things on all pages.
July 11, 2003
Someone gave out a wrong URL for this site so I put up a warning page. If any of you know any words we can add, click here and let us know the language and definition. Thank you.
July 10, 2003
Put up explaination/links pages for our Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese viewers. Not that we have any that we know of. We'll probably put up more pages like that in every language Altavista's Babel Fish offers. We did this because I discovered the other day that by using some of those free search engine submission pages (http://www.ineedhits.com, some others), that we somehow ended up on http://www.WarmAfrica.com's search engine. Might as well give them some idea of what this site is about.
July 9, 2003
Added some stuff to the Pronounciation Guide (Pronunciation around here). Yesterday, I added a couple of links to the Links page. I'll probably (probly) be updating throughout the day today.
July 7, 2003
Happy late July 4th y'all. I went ahead and removed K's top menu thingee. When he gets around to finishing it, it'll probably come back up. K had an idea a few years back for a dictionary you type in the word and a translation page appears. I might implement that soon. Y'all keep on leaving your comments and all. We really appreciate hearin' from ya. Y'all keep safe, ya hear? Oh, before I forget, I added a link to some Civil War songs to the Links page.
June 28, 2003
Updated the Contact Us page. I have a link to a site that has a larger British dictionary than we do, it'll be added to the Links page when I find the text document I copied it to. Still working on the Aussie page. The huge list of words I had to add has been lost, so I have to find it first. That's what I get for being lazy I reckon. Y'all be sure to sign the guestbook. There's a couple of good sites in there. Y'all check 'em out.
May 12, 2003
Put up a new counter. I reckon it'll quit working in a month or two.... I think I set it to track visits and not hits. All that means is it won't increment if you hit reload. Gonna add more Brit and Aussie words soon. Oh, here's our privacy statement: We only collect what you e-mail us, select on the poll, or write in the guestbook. We don't sell any of this to anyone. If we made any money at all from this site, we wouldn't be on Analfire... uh... I mean, Angelfire.
May 9, 2003
Added a bunch of words to the British page, and I have some to add to the Scottish page and Australian page. These will be added, most likely, tonight. I reckon I'll change the poll to replace "Hickese" with Australian since we'll have a Australian page here shortly.
May 4, 2003
Added a bunch of stuff. Put a link on the Yankish page to some boycott information. Show our French "allies" and our Canadian "friends" how you feel. I'm sick to death of piss-ass countries with their antiAmerican bullshit. You frog bastards can rot in hell!! Buy American, British, Australian, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and a couple others, but don't buy French or Canadian!

Hmm, looking at the last entry that should be banner not beanner. Several changes have been made lately. The banner was made at the last update, and a new Australian page is in the works. I'm also trying to put up the links in the Links page that were in the original (www.angelfire.com/fl3/yanks/links.html). The black menu at the top was one of K's projects he never finished. I'm gonna try to talk him into either finishin' it or removin' it. Y'all keep on signin' the guestbook and lettin' everyone know about us.
April 23, 2003
Added peanut to the British page. Gonna change some stuff over the next few days now that I'm finally back online. K doesn't seem to update. Oh well. Gonna make us a beanner eventually, and it seems like I need to change hit counters again.
October 12, 2002
Nuthin' much. Just a few changes here and there.
Few months ago on TV I saw somethin' horrible. Two Yankees were eatin' chicken and waffles. Chicken AND waffles. Why in the hell would anybody eat chicken with waffles?!?! And what the hell is a Jack-in-the-Box resteraunt? Does it serve hamburgers? Last I heard a jack-in-the-box was a freakin' toy. Down here we don't eat chicken and waffles, and we sure the hell don't put milk or sugar on our grits. Damn near all of that so-called "soul food" is Southern food. Y'all best to try it.
July 13, 2002
Added the menu at the top of the page.

May 3, 2002
Hey y'all. Just added the chatroom. Y'all go check it out.
April 15, 2002
Put the poll link more in the open for easier access. Added the Links page. Also started puttin' the update date on the main page. Maybe later I'll explain to y'all Yanks out there the diffrence 'tween a hissy fit and a conniption fit, but for a while the updates will be slower. I'm startin' two other projects. Maybe K will update some, who knows? He'll be maintainin' the site for a while.
March 19, 2002
Finally got a poll that works. It's been added so participate.
March 17, 2002
Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all! We added a icon for IE users' favorite places. Oh, and yesterday we got two URL's in case Angelfire locks us out again. Learn.to/SpeakSouthern and Way.to/SpeakSouthern. Learn.to is better.
March 16, 2002
Changed some minor things, mostly stuff for our WebTv veiwers. Yes WebTv sucks, but a veiwer is a veiwer. I plan on adding a special version of the site just for y'all WebTv users. It will use sidebars instead of frames.
Someone actually told me I should change the link called "A essay defending the flag" to "An essay...". Hey, if you don't like the way I talk you're in the wrong place. Besides, we clearly state that a word written here is not spoken by everyone in its grouping. At least I can be understood by the vast majority of my countrymen.
I think I'll stop erasing the updates off this page. Make it into some kind of big archive of site changes or something. Hell, I don't know. Still lookin' for banner or link exchanges. Links are better because our lazy asses have yet to make a banner for ourselves, but we'll take banners too I reckon. Feel free to share our URL with your friends and such. See y'all later.
March 11, 2002
Back online finally. Made some miscellaneous changes. A couple of years ago we tried having MP3's here, well we ain't gave up on that yet. I plan on bringing the plan back to life.
Looking below, the dates are all wrong. They should be 2002, not 2001. Oh well, they're in the archives now.
January 12, 2001
Made a couple of changes, not much though. Gonna remove the Confederate Shrine in the next update. Oh, the Fighters for Southern Independence webpage can't be updated no more, so expect that link to be removed soon as well.
January 11, 2001
- Added new counter since old one never seemed to work.
