Do they really talk like in my cowboy movies?

Maybe like 40 years ago. Now everyone in Texas is gay or Mexican.

 

[Lip Glossary]

Yes, I was born in Texas. I don't know if they talk like cowboy movies but they certainly say howdy in Dallas.

 

[OrionBalls]

How-dee or Haw-dee? Can't speak for Texas, but it is still a fairly popular greeting in the SE.

 

[AnneRipper1010]

Yes, and yes. It's called a Southern draw. Sooo just eeloongate yoo words

 

[AndSothisIsChristmas]

I’m from South Carolina and regularly greet people with howdy

 

[Unknowing]

These days they usually say 'holla'

Only faggot larpers say howdy in 2025. If you say howdy I automatically know that you are a flaming homosexual faggot that takes it up the ass and also like to larp as a country cowboy for some reason.

This is a common misconception. In reality they greet each other by mag dumping their side arm into the sky and exchanging BBQ if they become friends.
