Yins around here.
I got an uncle Stringer. He 71 and that’s his given name. He might hear “Hey String” once in awhile. Never really got a nickname though. Many think that’s it.
“I’ll take an tell yin’s this, aftin he spoke I skinned er back and took 3 fingers”
Translation, Hearing the news he opened a bottle of whiskey and drank about half a pint.
Now imagine the fellow saying what I quoted without a tooth in his head😁
