Heading down to South Carolina tomorrow (just South of Charlotte),
& since I'll be going through a foreign country (North Carolina) I'll need
someone to translate that language they speak.I think that they call it
"Deep Southern".

Grizzard is hilarious. Thanks, David!

Shortly after enlisting in the Air Force and having been stationed at Langley AFB, I rented a small bungalow a couple blocks off Buckroe Beach. First time I walked toward the beach I went into a small Ma & Pa "general store". Picked up some hot dogs and buns. On checkout, I thank him and Pa says: "Yallcombacanseeusnawheah!" Struck me about three seconds later as to what he'd said. First time I'd ever heard it in person, thought it was only used in the movies.

I normally speak flat midwestern, can speak Pittsburghese and Down East (ayah, Mainah). Even a bit o' BritSpeak. Still not fluent in Sothun after all these years.

My personal favourite was the time we walked out of a hotel (IN Cincinnati!) to hear a guy yell to his wife, "We've got an R"






Maybe even an R & a half :smile:

"Where is the Zep cleaner?"

"All three."

"There are three?"

"All three... third all down 'ere."
