Bailey Zimmerman is revealing his favorite small-town slang!

Bailey Zimmerman
What’s up, y’all? I’m Bailey Zimmerman. And here’s my favorite small-town slang. I kind of started this thing … it didn’t stick around for too long, but we had this thing and we said “Coolin.” Like, “Hey, do you want to go to B-Dubs later and get chicken?” And they will say, “Coolin.” Like, yeah, I’m in or I’m game or whatever. So “coolin” was a word for a while. I feel like bet is a normal thing now, but I’ve been saying bet for years since junior high. We’ve been saying bet and it’s more like, same thing as coolin — “Let’s go to lunch.” “I’m in, bet,” whatever. So in my hometown, we would say hand we’d call people hand, you’re either an operating hand or you’re a string in hand or you’re a laboring in hand, whatever it is. And so when we go to Casey’s in the morning at 6am 5am, you \walk up and see your buddy. “What’s up, hand” or “What’s going on, hand,” and it’s just like, “What’s up bro?” Or “what’s going on, man?” But you call them hands like, what’s up, hand? Yeah, it’s like country sh*t.
