Now I can personally vouch for the first 3.. TOOO FUNNY!!

You know, truth can be stranger than fiction.. especially when #3 happens quite often..

Old people tend to dissapear while driving, you only see two hands on the steering wheel and a tuff of hair on top of the headrest.

 

2."ya'll" is singular and "all ya'll" is plural.

 

I thought Y'all was that orange truck you rented when you move.

[scott19]

As a native Georgian, I can say with authority: "y'all" (notice where the the apostrophe goes) is always plural, as in "you all". "All y'all" means either everybody in the group ( "All y'all got arrested? Even Grandma?"), or as an address to a large group ( "All y'all MF'ers in this bar can kiss my...").

 

Also:

Any general reference to a soft drink is "coke" . Not "soda", definitely not "pop". Example: "I'm going to the store. you want anything?" "Get me a coke." "What kind?" "A Mountain Dew will do me."

 

There are two kinds of tea: sweet and unsweet. That's it.

 

All southerners also reference distance by time. Directions also usually include more landmarks than mileage or street names: "Turn left at the first dirt road past the fillin' station."

 

Fully expect any directions from an old timer to include a local history lesson and/or current gossip ( likely to include a recent hospital visit report or obituary). Grin and bear it, 'cause this is the same old timer that's gonna pick your sorry butt up when the Z breaks down on a secluded road.

 

Half the roads in Atlanta have "Peachtree" in their title. This is meant to confuse yankees, especially any that come to burn our city down(again).

 

"Howsyamomandem?" is a word (and a question), as is "Yaeatyet?"

[MTenneZ]

I thought there was only one kind of tea in the south...really sweet.

[scott19]

Well, some people want to add the amount of sugar they want, hence the unsweet tea.

[Guest 280ZX_Classic]

Actually, a lot of southerners use y'all as singular. It's just a think.. of couse, some people are from georgia (fake south) and not alabama (real south) Just kidding man.

[Dan Juday]

Hey, we have only two types of tea here in California too!

 

But, well,... they're both herb tea.

 

 

 

 

Best food I ever ate was in Atlanta.

[scott19]

Well there's no accounting for Alabama, is there? JK!!!

 

Lots of Georgians don't consider Atlanta the south, we're too "cityfied"!

 

Hey Dan, where and what did you eat that was so good?
