With Yankee* on the loose in
every nook and cornel of the cam
pus, collegians have suddenly been
made aware of the touch of Texa
in their talk.
For instance, students who
once thought "howdy" wag thi
only legal greeting have found otit
since the invasion of service men
from all parts of the nation that
"good morning.'' "good afternoon,"
and "good evening" are also in the
books
Advent of the newcomer* has
given North Texan* a linguistic
jolt, foi they have found then new
friend* need interpretation* to
understand the same brand of cop
vernation that Texan* have used
for years.
Translations Needed
Kx pressiotls which need pa 11 n-ti
bit explanation to those people
from north Of the Mason Dixon
line are "you all," "kmfolks,"
"sure enough." "I reckon," "down
yonder," "it isn't either," "yeah,"
j "wants in," a tin "wants out " And,
too, in collegiate store* Yankees
turn around anil return when hos

Peculiarities of Texas speech
came from the mixed group of set
tli •rs that came into the land above
the U io Grande and brought with
them the language of numerous
countries of Kit rope Also mixed
in are traces of Mexican, Indian,
and Negro tongues The many cu-
totn* rising from various ne< upn
tion* added furthei color and orift
inality to the Texan*' talk
From Mexico
A rich source of Texa* proyin
cialism* ha* been the Mexican lan-
guage. An expression derived
dront the Mexican "manana" i the
commnn "fixing to" that rjuite fr -
ipiently arouse* smile* fr-m Js'ot
therner* unaccustomed to Trm
speech
From cowboy* came the exptes-
sinn "critters," which originally
meant cattle; "ranch," Which came
from the Mexican word "rancho;"
i "cowpuncher," "buckaroo," and
j "htonc buster," which all mean
cowboy.
Other expressions that Itelong to
Texas are "two bits," which waa
coined when the old Spanish pieces
of eight was still in circulation; •
j "vamoose," which has recently
lieen cut down to the simpler
"•cram"riled." meaning dt*
turbed or angry; "half-pint;" "sky
pilot," meaning preacher; ami
"sHWtaines" as a term for doctor
