You sir, have just won the internets with this post. Although, you forgot to mention the tarheels in your list of satanic names.  |
It was not forgetfulness that kept the Tar Heels from being in that list. After all, like the old saying asks, "If God is not a Tar Heel, why is the sky Carolina blue?" (And it's Tar Heels, not Tarheels.)

I am happy to know that sarcasm, self deprecating humor - and all that stuff - has not been lost on some.

How nice for you. And "NorCal"? Who says that?
I am so sure.

I think it is a little off to make generalizations about California speech when you grew up in Kentucky and moved to the Bay Area as an adult. As someone who was born and raised in San Francisco proper, I find it insulting to attribute Valley Girl speech (which is from a different region of California) to all of California. If you had used "hella" as an example I wouldn't have mentioned it. No one I know over uses the words: like, for sure, totally gag me with a spoon, or has spoken with a Valley Girl accent. I am quite thankful I speak accentlessly
NorCal is a younger generation thing, I see decals on vehicles in Idaho and Washington that belong to students from Northern California. I'm a bit older so I don't say it, but it is now the common vernacular, as Valley Girl speech was 25+ years ago.
