Generally speaking, it was understood that if you ordered “tea” at a Southern restaurant, it meant you wanted your “tea” sweeten and iced. If you preferred your tea unsweetened, you had better make sure to order “unsweetened tea”. Same if you wanted it “hot tea”.
Now a days, in many of the South’s larger cities (you know, those towns with 5,000 or more  ), it isn’t unusual for a restaurant to include both “sweetened” and “unsweetened” tea on the menu.

Slightly off topic...
We do have sweet tea here in Maryland but when I order it, it always cames without a lemon. Is this a normal sweet tea thing or is Maryland just doing it wrong?

In Tennessee it's typically served with lemon.

In Alabama, they will typically ask you if you want a lemon. I believe it depends on the cost and availability of lemons.

Such a cute post Sciencewoman! And nowadays, I have to request lemon with my tea-whether I am in Tallahassee, Birmingham or Naples.

"and them" tends to be more Louisiana-ish - particularly New Orleans where "your mama 'n 'nem" is common.
And to support the previous poster - there is y'all and all y'all....and they mean two different things....bless your heart!

And neither y'all nor all y'all is singular.

I Skyped Generallygreek tonight and she and her roommate got a big kick out of the list. I also learned one more thing:
Debutantes have their debut announced in the newspaper. Generallygreek's roommate's announcement was in the paper today. She's your ADPi sister, honeychile...Happy Founders' Day to you both!
