Ví dụ
Howdy (xin chào), y’all—put on your sitting britches and let’s chaw the rag, as this episode of Talk Like a Texan is all about our state’s uniquely pithy and colorful sayings.
There are plenty of sentiments that make sense to present for travelers cruising I-40: “Howdy, y’all” works, or maybe “Put on your sitting britches.” Telling people to get out of the state, though, isn’t the finest expression of traditional Texas values. Regardless of where you stand politically, we can all recognize that friendliness is a key Texas trait. “The Friendly State” has been our official slogan since 1930! (If one insists on a message with some political shade, might we recommend “Bless your heart”?)
