If you’ve ever heard a Southern saying and thought, “Wait, what did that even mean?” Lainey Wilson is here to break it down for you in the most hilarious and heartwarming way possible. In Episode 2 of her mini-series “Vocabulainey,” she dives into the quirky, colorful phrases she grew up hearing and it’s equal parts charming, witty, and wildly relatable. With her signature Louisiana drawl and storytelling flair, Lainey turns everyday expressions into laugh-out-loud lessons in Southern living.
This isn’t a performance in the traditional sense; it’s Lainey unplugged, unscripted, and unapologetically herself. In this episode, she explains Southern gems like “took me around by Laura’s,” “wishing in one hand…,” and “like holding a snuff can under a bear’s butt.” Each phrase comes with a real story whether it’s a misadventure with GPS or her mama describing her wild daddy. The way she says them, the way she laughs at herself; it all feels like sitting on a porch swing with a friend who always has the best stories.
