"WHAT'S UP?"; "WASSUP?" !!

Sadly I know I would also make fun of you for carriage! I've never heard that but it's hilarious!

When I shop with Wadi, I make a conscious effort to say cart, so he doesn't have to suffer the same lifelong ridicule as me.

This lil Piggy... exactly... Sadly I know I would also make fun of you for carriage! I've never heard that but it's hilarious!

It's not a cart. It's not a carriage. It's a trolley!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

In the South, a shopping cart is very commonly referred to as a buggy. Weird I know, but it's what I grew up with. The South has a lot of "isms" that are just too darn funny! When I went through the Logan Int'l Airport in Boston, I was looked at, stared at, asked to repeat things (I think they just wanted to hear my southern accent ) several times. Kinda like being in a foreign country I suppose.

Anyone want to learn "Southernese"?

I'm guilty of using this term as a greeting. I admit it.

There are some UK terms that "wrankle" me like "puffing a **."

Actually most Uker's who smoke say "havin' a **". I haven't heard anyone say "puffing a **" for about 20 years. But I'm from the south, maybe they do in the Northern areas.

And yes, it is "rankle". Even in the UK....

and more often than not, it's 'tab' not '**' tho '**' is still used.

but yeah, never heard 'puffin a **' in the years I lived there....

One of the strangest things I had to get used to is the calling of a bathroom 'the toilet' just sounds...oh I dunno!

We went to a Chinese in Durham and I asked the woman where the bathroom was...she was like '#######? you no shower here'

:lol:

I can picture the scene so clearly!

I have been living in the South now for 18 months. At my job everyone has to pass a speech test to see if you pronouce your words correctly.

I am like, give me a break. You have to take this test every three months, plus a language test, and typing.

If you dont pass you dont get promoted. Which means no raise. I cant believe they are making Southerns take a speech test when they all have a accent.

They are trying to tell me I say fridee instead of friday. Pin instead of pen. Git instead of get. I have never spoke like that in my life. They told me they can tell a big difference in this months speech score from the test I took 3 months ago. They told me that it is a sign of intelligence when you pick up another accent that fast.

I told them for the record. I do not say fridee, or pin, or git.........

This is coming from someone thats says "how ya'll doing today" Go figure.
