It just seemed odd to give an insight that had nothing to do with her question, but okay.

I've never heard anybody say "dixie," and I'd be inclined to punch someone in the face if he or she called me a "yankee."

And people from the south don't have an accent???!!!! :D

Actually, it did. But, you knew that.

Yeah, but we like our accent. Yankee accents, on the other hand, are huge turnoffs.

It didn't, and it's insulting to imply that anything in the original post indicated that she was trying to change to be anyone's friend. But hey, at least it provided you with an opportunity to tell us that you are an awesomely self-assured yankee who fit in just right with southerners and gosh darn it, you really like the south! Don't ever change, blueangel!

C'mon youz guyz. We don't tawk funny. Just cuz we wawk duh dawg and wawduh duh plaints.!

Somebody needs a nap! :D :D :D

There's that southern charm! Don't ever change! :D :) :cool: ;) :p

It's really just a fact - if a Southerner refers to Northern people as Yankees, and they aren't talking about people who are their friends, they mean it in a derogatory manner. Not like they necessarily hate them and wish they'd die (although in some Southerners' cases ...), but it's still a slur to an extent. That's how it's used down here. If saying that's the case makes me a hick in the eyes of people from other parts of the country, that's fine, most people elsewhere already think that when they meet me anyway because of my accent ... :rolleyes:

Its true, the simple fact that I'm against gay marriage and am from the South makes people on here assume I live in a trailer. Its ok though, because I generally view them as union workers who don't believe in God.

Savannah high society? Savannah is like a cheap version of Chino Hills. Yeah, I'd really like to be part of that exclusive group.

I've driven through Chino and I know Savannah well, and unless there's a lot more to Chino than meets the eye, there's a WORLD of difference.

I wasn't asking about the brits....and I'm quite aware of that considering my mom's husband was a brit.

Bobby, man, shouldnt you be on the jersey shore?
