It's safe to say that if you're from West Virginia, you were raised a certain way. Have any friends that don't understand your Almost Heaven slang? Send them this article.

Go grab a... buggy

Rule #1: We shop at Walmart and Kroger. And those things you call "shopping cart" is a buggy to us country folk.

Nothing tastes better than... pepperoni rolls

You can't these anywhere else in the country- wanna know why? WV is pretty awesome.

Supper is ready

This means you better get inside and wash your hands or else you aren't eating dinner tonight.

I'm just... poking fun

This is how you explain to someone that you are just joking around when you say something mean.

Example: "That deer ain't nowhere big enough to eat." You would then say you are poking fun... unless you are in fact not poking fun.

You get sink water from a.... spicket

Faucet? Don't know her.

Pull up your.... britches

It's simple. Your pants are sagging.


While there are many more terms and phrases that could be added to this; I felt this was a good crash course to start with. Remember, we are different. And that's okay.


We may get buckwild, but it takes a special type of person to do it with a little bit of West Virginia style.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
