I don't know if I spelled that right.

I recall a long time ago I was talking to either Fireblade or Ideologue and this little gem escaped their lips.

What does " we'uns " mean, and what sort of peculiar alien dialect might that be?
Winner of THE grumbler point.

"We are One"?

Not latin. Maybe english-latin.

It's that peculiar alien dialect that makes most of those in the South laughingstocks for the rest of the Union.

At a guess it means "little ones", ie children.

Not sure I've ever heard that expression. :mellow:

I've never heard a Kentuckian say that... or anyone for that matter.  Maybe Ide/FB is just stupid? :)

To me it would seem more wee uns. Little ones.

What does 'uns mean in this different southern context? It seems to be just placed there between we and is for no reason....

If you're from Harlan County, you know that Kentuckians are Southerners. ^_^

I will make an exception for the folks in Northern Kentucky (i.e. suburban Cinci).

I mean, if Kentuckians aren't Southern, then what the hell are they!?  They sure as hell aren't Midwesterners.  I would agree that the folks in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama are more Southern (partly because they are located to the south ;) ), but that doesn't make Kentuckians 'not that southern'.

Or Jaron is just a troll.  :)



This sounds like something some ghetto people or people from Jarwja would say.
I want my mother fucking points!
