Re: SOME HELPFUL ADVICE FOR AA
hehehehe those are great Oman! However, I think he can relate to the last two. I think it is the same way out thar in Orey gun!
omahaman2 said:Tips for a Northerner moving South:
1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later
how to use it.
2. If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as
"Bubba". You have a 75% chance of being right.
3. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can.
Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
4. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same
store.
5. Do not buy food at the movie store.
6. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking,
let alone eating.
7. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern
accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.
8. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
9. People walk slower here.
10. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't
understand you either.
12. The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted
Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "Big ol'", as in "big ol'
truck" or "big ol' boy". 85% begin their new southern influenced
dialect with this expression. 100% are in denial about it.
13. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer
proper.
14. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
15. If attending a funeral in the South, remember, we stay until
the last shovel of dirt is thrown on and the tent is torn down.
16. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those
who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a
southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was on when
the car was purchased.
17. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of
their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.
18. The winter wardrobe you always brought out in September can
wait until November.
19. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you
purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your
trailer. This is logical bearing in mind that the dish cost
considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be
displayed.
20. Florida is not considered a southern state. There are far
more Yankees than Southerners living there.
21. In southern churches you will here the hymn, All Glory, Laud
and Honor. You will also here expressions such as, "Laud, have
mercy","Good Laud", and "Laudy, Laudy, Laudy".
22. As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone,
directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to
drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the
proper speed and lane position for the vehicle.
23. You can ask a Southerner for directions, but unless you already
know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off
trying to find it yourself.
