Southern 101---Explanation of all things Southern

[Opa]

Flush a Twinkie? That's just not right. That would be like throwing out those little chocolate covered never rot donuts just because they've been in your truck since last fall.

Why do foks from Boston "pak the ca in the yad" while
people from Alabama park the car in the front yard?

A dear friend of mine who is a native Kentuckian quite often tells me "I'm tarred" and I find it EXTREMELY difficult not to add "and feathered?"

I'm just now figuring out that holes in the ground with water in them are called tanks... not ponds, tanks.

Husband still laughs at me because I like ahrnge juice, not or-ange juice.
Or because I pick up the house.
Or because I'm fixin' to smack Purple Chicken.

Quote:
A comedian explained this phenomenon one time by saying that the # of consonants in the English language MUST stay constant, so the northern "R"s migrate to the south, thus the "r"s from pahking the cah in the yahd become inhabitants of the southerner's "earl" wells . Another colloquialism (although this one is prominent in KY also) is saying, "I carried ____ to the store". Really now? Wouldn't it have been easier to have taken them in the car? I hope it wasn't too long a walk...

People actually EAT twinkies???

Why is it Aunt Betty can say the most vile things about someone add "god bless her" at the end and think it makes it ok?

What's to explain? Everyone loves us Southerners, if only just to make fun of us! I make no apologies for my southern twang, it is what it is and I am what I am!

Dare to be different!!
