    I use it on rare occasions. I see no reason why it shouldn't be accepted.

  • Some get all bent out of shape when it's used. I ain't got time for them though. :)

    Lol. I had a relationship with a southern belle who taught me the one and other southern expression. Bless her heart.

  • That's another saying we use a lot around here. Have you seen any of these videos?

    I was taught a few... ;-)

    Haven't seen this one previously. Luckily she did not speak like that all time or I'd have lost any conversation only understanding half of it. Like said I got a few, but ain't sure I recall all of them any longer. :-/

  • LOL...we do have our own language down here. It's very colorful and a little convoluted.

    I'm for it.  If it was taken away I wouldn't be able to listen to one of my all time favorite songs (and others)..one I usually listen to several times a month.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB2Mu2zBzjw

    Yes Ms.K  Also..ain't no way I'm giving up my PnJ banana/bacon sandwiches:))))

    “Ain’t No Way” was written by Aretha’s sister Carolyn, who also sang background on the track with another Franklin sister, Erma. Yet, the only facets of the song that were more memorable than the Queen of Soul’s powerful delivery were Cissy’s high notes (Whitney Houston Mom) that repeatedly vaulted above soprano high C.

  • I use it for effect if I'm posting on the web but it doesn't find its way into my conversation. Now if you'd asked about cain't, that might have been different.
