I've got too much regional slang. Scots is a very rich dialect, over the years I've learned to understand it, my dad's side speaking pretty much exclusively Scots. (I don't know how you would spell half of these, I only use it when visiting Scottish family)

I dunnae' ken - I don't know

Quines n' loons - Boys and girls

Bonnie - pretty

Wit are ya' talkin' aboot? - What are talking about?

Lug - Ear

A wee nigh' oot - A small night out

Heed, shedders, shanks n' taes - Head, shoulders, legs and toes

 Bubblyjock - Turkey xD

 

DESTGUSTANG - Disgusting If you know, you know. (I'm sorry)

I barely hear it, but Y'all is one. Though otherwise I don't really know what's normal for US and what's normal only for Texas.

nope. I don't think I've heard anyone in my city say that. Though I live in one of the largest cities in Texas, which means I don't really hear that much 'Texan' words, like 'howdy'. Now, in small towns like the one I recently went to a rodeo at, you'd probably hear that a lot.

I don’t even try on that one. Too confusing to remember which is which.

Its - possessive form of “it”

Example: The cat is playing with its toy

It’s - contraction of “it is”

Example: It’s raining outside

 

I’m sorry

It's very simple, it's is "it is" and its is possessive.

"its" is possessive, "it's" means it is

Let’s stop now before this devolves further. I’ve learned my lesson. 

Anyway, uh, regional slang! Uh, “aboot”? Even though I’ve literally never heard anyone say that before?

Why would anyone say  "aboot?" What is that even supposed to be?

It’s supposed to be “about”. It’s a Canadian stereotype.
