I've heard people from Alabama and Mississippi say that as well. I love it, proper or not!krystleb1703 wrote:People here in Louisiana, including myself, tend to say, "I'm going make groceries," meaning that I am going shopping for groceries. Growing up saying this, I never thought it was incorrect until I went to a function out of state and my mother and I volunteered to do the shopping. The people with us burst into laughter and questioned what we meant. We really had to think about it, how improper of us.

"It's a down hill battle from here" instead of "Its an up hill battle from here" meaning it will be easier from here on out. I point out that it is easier to travel down a hill than up a hill. So I say "It's all down hill from here" My husband says that I'm saying this backwards.
