What are the Best Slang Terms from Texas and Oklahoma?
There's a lot of slang terms in common use around Texoma, but what would you consider to be the best?
The folks at Buzzfeed put out a request to their readers across the nation to submit their favorite slang terms that are fairly exclusive to their state, with the best listed below. Oklahoma's doesn't really seem like a slang term, and the one from Texas sounds more like a Jeff Foxworthy routine than anything.
After reading this, all I can say is, "How bored do you get in Iowa?"
