About this listen
What is Texas slang? Texas slang is a unique dialect that has been developed over time by the people who live in Texas. So, where does Texas slang come from? The origins of Texas slang can be traced back to the early 1800s when settlers from Texas began moving to other parts of the United States. These settlers brought their unique dialect with them, and it gradually began to spread.
Before divin’ in, here are six steps to get ya’ll started:
- When applyin’ Texan, think of words that end in G.
- Then, don’t pronounce that G.
- Texans love it when you sprinkle the term “fixin’ to” into dialogue.
- Don’t say “you guys”. Refer to 'em as “ya’ll”.
- Don’t ever call a Coca-Cola a "pop"; they’ve got no idea what ya’ll talkin’ about.
- Congratulations, ya’ll now versed in Texan speak.
If you're visiting Texas, be sure to brush up on your Texas slang! It will help you to communicate with the locals and get a better understanding of their culture. Happy travels!

The Moon has a bearing on the tides, on nature as it changes our seasons, and yet we don’t pay it too much attention. It has always been there! But if it has so much power to do all this to our world, then surely it follows that it will have the same influence on us. There is magic with positivity and our true nature's instinct. Have you ever felt too much sometimes you’re happy, energetic, excited, and then other times, out of sorts, tired, wired, and out of sync with yourself and the universe?

As the parent of two sons who went on to play baseball in college as well as a former head baseball coach at the NCAA level, I want to share alternatives with parents that will allow their children to avoid the anxiety and stress that many face within the overstructured and overorganized world of travel baseball. The hamster wheel of travel ball is a business model and not a baseball development model. For kids, baseball should be all about one thing—having fun! We play it as kids, watch and listen to it as adults, and pass down our love of it through generations.

To break through, says high-stakes communications expert Paul Hellman, you need to focus on your audience, be slightly different, and deliver with finesse.

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Made me chuckle!
The book is very interesting and it made me chuckle! There are lot of slang words that I haven’t heard before but a lot that I’ve used too! Like “this ain’t my first rodeo” (I know!) and “tighter than bark on a log” (never heard of it!)

I love Texas slang!
Ever since I was a child I grew into how Texans speak and I tried to imitate them as it is just fascinating! This is a very great resource for those like myself and who want to to know the meaning of the common Texas slang you hear in movies and new ones as well! The narration is well done with a Texan accent (of course!) 5 stars!

Perfect to understand Texas slang
I love this book. I’m a bit bias because I just love the Texas accent and the author did a great job of capturing the sayings! It definitely helps you understand certain expressions Texans use and the way are pronouncing the words.

Entertaining!
This audiobook was very entertaining and fun to listen to since Teaxas does have a lot of funnyslang words they use which can be very confusing for people who are not from the area. I have travelled around the world and know that different cities in the same country can have substantially different words that have completely different meanings. Fun to listen to!

I have to admit...
I have to admit, I used to think that I knew everything there was to know about Texas. After all, I live here, so the culture and the language are familiar to me. However, it wasn't until recently that I learned just how much there is to know about "Texas talk." As I discovered when reading this short guide to Texas slang, there are countless words and phrases that have their origins in our state's rich history and vibrant culture. This resource makes it easy for anyone interested in learning more about our unique dialect to quickly find whatever they're looking for. Whether you're planning a visit to our state or are thinking of moving here permanently, this guide will help you better understand the fascinating language of Texas. So if you want to jump right into conversations with locals or just want a fun way to learn more about our unique way of speaking, be sure to check out this must-read resource today!
