FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . .
In the South: If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will bealong shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way.This is what they live for.Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the samestore. . .do not buy food at this store.
Remember, "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, and "ally'all's" is plural possessive.Get used to hearing "You ain't from round here, are ya?"Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later onhow to use it.Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying.They can't understand you either.
The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective"big'ol," truck or big'ol" boy.
Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenceddialect this way. All of them are in denial about it.The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longerproper.Be advised that "He needed killin" is a valid defense here.If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this," youshould stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'llever say.If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even thesmallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the localgrocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. Youjust have to go there.Do not be surprised to find that 10-year-olds own their ownshotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them howto aim.In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lushgreen lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway. AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children,don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cathad kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits.
