    You're going the right way for a smacked bottom.

    Yes. I'm from the South. Yes. I have an accent. No. It's not nice to make fun of it or mock me, you dumb Yank.

    Yes. I am educated. Yes. I can speak as such. No. Just because I use terms of endearment, such as cher, hon, or sweet, does not mean you can yell at me for being rude or stupid. It's a habit, tell me you don't like it and I won't do it. Jackass tourist.

    I have no idea why corporate is making us put out Christmas..... No we are not devil worshipers..... No you cannot help me find Jesus.



    I'm so sick of crazy tourists!!!
    No ma'am. I'm sorry, I cannot control the temperature. We're in hell, that's why.

    People like that embarrass the rest of us Yankees. Did they by any chance say "That's not how we do it up North!"?

      Having a southern accent doesn't mean that someone is ignorant. It means that they're from the South. That's ALL it means!

        There's just one phrase you need to know when dealing with someone like that: "Well, bless your heart"

          If you have a southern accent, it means you are from where the food actually tastes good...

            Don't you mean "Wahl bless yo' hear'." ?


            (And it always amuses me to hear 'Southern' used to refer to anyplace north of the equator. I know it's just a directional reference, and you'd probably find FNQ - Far North Queensland - just as amusing ....)

                  Just remember how people north of us (meaning the UP) speak Food Lady.

                  Heck my sister has been in our area for like 45 years and her "accent" going from a "southern Midwest" twang to pronounced Cheeseheadlandish.

                    They probably moved there from the South.

                      Mayyybe. I reckon. Wait..."Wahl" ?? Sounds more like "Wey-ull" if y'all are goin' for a GAW-juh Peach acc-ent ^_^

                      For the uninitiated, "Bless your heart" is a (USA) Southernism that means, "You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?"

                        *chortles* I have been known to use, "Bless your ever loving heart," for the rock-chewingly stupid ones!

                        One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if Arkansas is considered part of the "South" or what... because I don't think Arkansas knows for sure any more. During the Civil War, it was as South as Georgia, but now? Bah. We've gotten too many Yanks flying south and unfortunately staying (Don't mind me, I'd rather be closer to the Arctic Circle, myself.)
                        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                          I drove through Tennessee a while back and stopped to get some fast food. The girl behind the counter, in a thick southern drawl asked, "Y'all have an accent?"

                          Coming directly from the Pacific NW, driving cross-county, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply: Nope, but yours is really strong!
                          My actual response was: "... ... ... Yes. Yes I do."

                            I've lived in the south my entire life and I only ever hear old people say the really stereotypical shit.
                            "Weyull butta mah butt n call me a biscit!"

                            I actually found most of the stereotypes when I lived in TN.
                            GA is just trashy feeling.

                              Back in the early 90s, I was touring in Colorado, driving up to the Moffatt Tunnel. I stopped at an antique store in Rollinsville, or near there, and found a record player that didn't have a stylus. I mentioned to the proprietress that there was a place I knew back in Brooklyn that sold them by mail-order (this was pre-internet commerce, of course), and wrote down the number for her.

                              On the way back from the tunnel, I stopped by again and asked her if she'd called. She said, "Yes, it was the funniest thing, I was talking to a guy who had the same accent as you do!"

                              Now I'd never thought I spoke particularly thick Brooklynese, but apparently I was distinctive enough for her to notice...
