you know, it's funny cuz it's true.
you should have seen this one hall in my HS it was known as red neck hall. there were belt buckles the size of dinner plates everywhere!!!! I swear that when they all stood by windows or overhead light you could be constantly blinded on the way to class! One of the guys actually got suspended for lassoing another student in the hallway causing him to trip (a homemade lasso at that)

sigh... it's like that one Ben fold's song with the line: "my redneck past keeps nipping at my heels"

Maryland, and every other place in the "Urrea" and below is South. Not deep south, but still south nonetheless

I have neighbors who spend six months in NYC and six months in Florida. When in Florida, they have New York City get togethers. There are so many New Yorkers in Florida.

I've lived in Maryland for 20 years and I have NEVER considered it to be a part of the south. Technically, it IS south of the Mason Dixon line, but it doesn't even compare to the Georgia type of southern, warm hospitality, etc.

I live outside of DC, which is probably NOTHING like the rest of Maryland. According to the new license plates... we have lots of farms in Maryland? WHERE?! I've never seen them! But again, I only pretty much stay here or Northern Virginia and sometimes I venture up to Frederick. Never really been to southern MD, though.

Oh, and I think people in MoCo use "thurr" "urrea" "hurr" etc as some kind of joke. Its not an accent here. The people I know who say it (me included sometimes) are preppy private school kids who say it as some kind of hip slang (thanks to Nelly!). My friends use it, even my manager uses it (and I KNOW his stems from hip-hop). It's not a natural accent to anyone I know.

Baltimore accents are just in their own world compared to the rest of Maryland (or Murrlin as I've started calling it- which is definitely a good way to confuse people). I don't know, I've never known anyone in the DC suburbs to have an accent from the area.

The reason why you never considered it southern because you havent really been south of DC. MoCo and North has no southern hosp. I know I some/alot of people from Bethesda, Potomac, and etc. and Im the one with the "country" accent. But you must believe me travel down below DC there is def. southern hospitatlity.
