FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH:
f you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel
drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to
help them; just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.[/quote">
We're from the north. Unless we're drunk form a night of bar hopping in Qunicy Market, or falling asleep at the wheel, we don't run our car in ditches. :P
[quote"> Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store. Do not
buy food at this store.[/quote">
If I ever find a store like that, there's no way I'm even walking past it, never mind buying food! :o
[quote"> Remember, "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, and "all y'all's" is
plural possessive.[/quote">
Um... yeah.... no comment.
[quote"> Get used to hearing "You ain't from round here, are ya?".[/quote">
I get that in western, MA. Kinda used to it. :P
[quote"> Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.[/quote">
Ew! No wonder you people die at such an early age. ::)
[quote"> Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't
understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a
transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol truck" or
"big'ol boy." Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this
way. All of them are in denial about it.[/quote">
Maybe in da hood. ::)
[quote"> The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.[/quote">
That's because your teachers were from the north. You know, where the smart people are. :P
[quote"> Be advised that "He needed killin'" is a valid defense here.[/quote">
That would be a confession here, and a lock up in jail for sounding like a redneck.
[quote"> If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this," you should stay
out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say.[/quote">
I'm not even touching that one.
[quote"> If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest
accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store.
It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go
there.[/quote">
I hear that happens with hurricanes too. You guys panic too much. It's in conjunction with the bacon grease you keep. Stop it!
[quote"> Do not be surprised to find that 10-year-olds own their own shotguns. They are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim.[/quote">
Yeah....
[quote"> In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is
to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.[/quote">
Are you kidding? ::)
AND REMEMBER:
If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept
them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we
wouldn't call 'em biscuits.

Well, there's no chance of that. So we don't need to worry about it. :P :P :P :P :P
