Lots of oil and gas workers here from all over the country. Often get blank stares in conversation with them.
Interesting ones are the people from Louisiana. Great fun listening to an old boy and a cajen try to make sense of what each other’s saying.
Nicknames around here are unique. Some so ingrained that only close friends or former classmates know a persons real name. Ex; Panger, T-Bone, Fats, Bench, Coony, Whip, Iggy (Ig for short), T, Sister, Sonny P, Weed, German, Murph, MudDuck, Buttons, Rafe, .....endless list. Don’t know about other areas but here nicknames are very common.
