Majority of Texans Want "Texan" To Be An Official Language

You've heard the old expression "Texas: It's like a whole other country." Well, when it comes to the names of cities in Texas, it's like a whole other language. I've lived here in the Lone Star State for 23 years now. Before that, I lived in New Mexico for quite some time,  and in both places, I've had to learn all about regional pronunciations...

There is regional slang all over the country but none of what I've heard in my life was a colorful as what I've heard here in the lone stat state. Check out this video of non-Texans trying to guess what they mean. Honestly, I've never heard most of these before...

Texas...the Lone Star State. Our motto is 'Friendship' (shouldn't a motto be more than one word?) Our state song is 'Texas, Our Texas.' Our state animal is the armadillo, our state flower, the bluebonnet. Other than the one word motto, we have a state word...

If you're reading this, you're probably not giving it too much thought, but maybe you should because the English language is fraught with pitfalls that make our ability to master the written word as impressive as our getting a man on the moon.

A guy’s choice of words can be an instant giveaway as to his testosterone levels.
