The South is a part of the United States that has a phenomenally diverse and rich set of cultures that combine under the term, ‘Southern’. But while each of these states might have its own unique cultures, the world sees the South all as one group. While this might be a bit of an unfair stereotyping, it cannot be denied that there are many phrases, colloquialisms, and swear words that are used by Southerners across states. If you plan on visiting these hospitable and colorful parts of the United States, you might want to get acquainted with the dialects.

Southerners can often be heard using the word “reckon”, which might lead some to wonder if they are using it the way that most English speakers do. While this term is not particularly complicated, it does take some time to get used to hearing it. Basically, when a Southerner asks you if “you reckon”, they want to know what your thoughts are regarding a subject. Someone could ask you, “Do you reckon Mike forgot about our fishing trip” if Mike happened to be incredibly late before you all set off for your big holiday.
