Synopsis

Ever been told to “come on now” and realized it meant about five different things?
Welcome to Georgia — where language is as rich as the culture, as warm as the hospitality, and sometimes as confusing as a back-road detour with no GPS.

The Georgia Slang Dictionary is your complete guide to the words, phrases, and expressions that Georgians actually use every day. From front-porch sayings and small-town wisdom to city slang, football talk, and modern Southern expressions, this book captures the real voice of the Peach State from A to Z.
Inside, you’ll find:

  • 500 carefully selected Georgia slang terms
  • Organized alphabetically (20 per letter)
  • Clear definitions and full explanations
  • Realistic example sentences
  • Plain-English translations so nothing gets lost in translation
Whether you’re a lifelong Georgian, new to the South, a language lover, or just someone who enjoys regional humor and culture, this dictionary helps you understand not just what people are saying — but what they really mean.
Perfect for:
  • Southerners who want to see their everyday language in print
  • Visitors and transplants trying to keep up
  • Writers, educators, and linguistics fans
  • Anyone who enjoys funny, authentic regional expressions
Funny, informative, and deeply Southern, the Georgia Slang Dictionary isn’t just a reference book — it’s a cultural snapshot of how Georgia talks, jokes, welcomes, and tells it like it is.
Pull up a chair, pour the sweet tea, and start talking Georgia.
