Yankee Girl Survives First Year at Southern University

ASTalumna06,

You cracked me up with the slippahs. Growing up my mom would yell at me to put on my slippahs. My parents are originally from Massachusetts outside of Boston. Oh I can go on.

Do they also drive tha cah and bang a u-ey - most likely to avoid a gahkablahka and the troopahs - to hit up the packie, then head ova ta Stah Mahket to grab some Hoodsies and tonic? That's wicked pissah.



ETA: This pretty much sums it up.

I won't lie, you have me stumped on "gahkablahka" and I speak fluent New England. I don't think that's ever happened before! I'm a little disappointed in myself, actually Something blocker?

Okay, now I can't stop myself from reading everything I type in a thick Boston accent (think Jerry Remy because I was just watching the Sawx).

SWEEEET CAROLIIIINE...BUH BUH BUUHHHH

From my upper midwestern perspective, every Oklahoman I've met has been a lot closer to southern than they are to midwestern, at least in terms of speech patterns and dialect. I saw a tornado survivor being interviewed on the Today Show this morning, and he said, "fixin' to."

Agree on all counts.

This reminds me of the "Mark Wahlberg talks to Animals" sketch from SNL.
"Say hi to your mother for me!"

The Rem Dawg!!!

And "gahkablahka" is a lot of traffic caused by people rubbernecking because of a car accident. Basically a "gawker-blocker"

Funny thing - the first time I said this at school in PA while driving with my friends, they thought I was calling someone a c*ck blocker ..
