I would say Oklahoma is in that region of the US the says "Worsh" & "Worshington".

I suppose he eats his hamburgers and hot dogs plain, with none of the fixins.......

Ha yeah I've heard that before from my neighbor. Then I found out she was from Arkansas so who knows?

I never have, and never will say 'worsh'. I've lived in Washingtion State and call it Washington, not Worshington.

Although, I have had a yankee friend gig me on 'fixing' to eat, 'fixing' to cook. It got on his nerves. He said the same thing, "Is it broken?"

My favorite from my east coast friends is: "I have a quick question."

When I was working on the East Cost a few years back I was surprised how much people cursed. I'm talking about folks in the service industry, like waitress, store clerks... At Home Depot a clerk was talking about how the GD weather sucked... And waitress were always using the F word or GD word.

i think different parts of Oklahoma are more like the South while others are like the Midwest and some parts are like the Plain States but i would consider it to be a southern state because i consider Arkansas to be a southern state.Northwest Arkansas seems Midwestern to me though.

This was calculated using a google map,Google Maps starting from OK, state border(s), going the way the crow flies to the N & S US Borders and to the E & W Coast lines.
Note: (the west was calculated from the west end of the OK panhandle)

Oklahoma is appox,

1,315 mi, from the Pacific West coast

1,282 mi. from the Atlantic East coast

1,009 mi, from the US/Canada border

422 mi, from the US/ Gulf of Mex border

You decide what Geographic position OK holds

Kinda silly, seeing as how Nevada is now considered part of the West Coast. And as for the 'worsh' thing, there were a lot of parts of the central/northeast border of MO where people said 'warsh' and 'holler' instead of 'wash' and 'hollow,' as in 'the hills ain't so high, but the hollers sure are deep.' In AK, things were spendy, just like they are in OK. Can't go by food, either, in that same part of MO we used to have grits and hominy and fried cornmeal mush for breakfast, and chicken fried steak and gumbo and deep fried okra, and used every part of a pig but the squeal.

I think it's whatever it is to you. OK has something different for everyone within it's borders.
