people say 'have a blessed day' and 'bless their heart' a lot. I don't say these things, I feel like it is the southerner's way of being northern. 11/11/2007 9:59:26 PM |

What about when someone says they are going to "carry" someone somewhere rather than just take them there.
I don't say it, but it's mighty redneck.
I do say "fixin' to" on occasion. And I enjoy it! 11/11/2007 10:02:11 PM |

My bf's family (chicago area) marveled at my complete lack of anything southern in my speech, save for yall, which I don't do 100% of the time.
Until I said "I'm fixing to go get a drink. Anyone want anything while I'm inside?" "What's broken?"/"What are you fixing?"/"WHAT? "
...Until that exchange, I had no idea "fixing to" do anything wasn't something everybody, everywhere, says 11/11/2007 10:07:44 PM |

well I used to play w/ these Jewish kids from New Jersey, and they always said "Philadelphia"
I asked my Mom about it, and she was like, "They're just saying Philadelphia because it's a place where no one ever owned slaves"
and yes, by "I've heard that in the north it's Philadelphia" I meant "I used to play with some Jewish kids who said Philadelphia"

she surely has the harnett county accent. i remember once she called me when i was in arizona asking me what i was up to that weekend or something (obviously not knowing that i had abandoned NC and was gone at the time), and it was so refreshing to hear a NC drawl after hearing only desert rednecks for a few weeks. seems like it would be the same, but its not.
she's also FUNNER'N HELL when she's drunk. seems like the first time i met her i wound up drunk with her after a party the night before a football game (with no way home), and she gave me shelter for the night and said "stay on the floor and dont steal nothin" before she got in her bed. it was hilarious.

there was another thread like this the other day and I mentioned it
I was pretty well wasted one day
we caught some bait and I was like, "you reckon that bait is any count"
which, we all looked up at each other and lolled... since we had been trying to outdo one another all week with 'neckisms...
my uncle also calls "yellow"... "yaller" (not pronounced like "yall")
the funniest dialects are like... way down east... hyde county and way down east carteret

Whenever someone asks my hobbies, this is generally what I say. A disturbing number of people don't get it.
My cousins live in Ohio and always make fun of my y'alls, but what really baffles them is when I say 'cut on' or 'cut off'.
I guess it just puts a hitch in their britches. Bless their hearts.11/13/2007 6:32:58 AM |

Actually "bless his/her heart" is southern for saying "glad that isn't me"
eg: "Jeb ran himself over with the tractor again this morning" "Oh, bless his heart, I hope he's OK"11/13/2007 8:59:58 AM |

There are some weird dialects in the South. Anyone from around Oxford knows that you don't go straight down the street to the strawberrry stand, you go skrait down the skreet to the skrawberry skrand.
If you know anyone from an old family in Virginia (Charlottesville especially) you'll know that you're not going out and about, you're going "oot and aboot" and that "there is a mouse in the house and theres no doubt about it" is properly pronounced "theres a moose in the hoose and theres no doot aboot it."11/13/2007 9:29:45 AM |

Nope, just very old English families. Interestingly enough, this is probably how people like Robert E. Lee sounded, as opposed to the Deep South drawl that a lot of interpretations give him.
Some students of North Carolina history would know that for a long time, the residents of the Outer Banks and Ocracoke in particular, had their own dialect which wasn't remotely "Southern." 11/13/2007 9:49:30 AM |
