RE: WHERE Y’ALL FROM?

|

Yet more illuminations on Southern-speak from those of us who, being Southern, clearly have no concept of doing actual work:

Correction for #7 – How do you address a group of people? I lived in Nashville, TN for 5 years and Texas 8 years. The proper way to address a group of people is “all y’all” so if you correct the other question, please mention #7 too.

I’m also surprised they didn’t have a “fixin” comment in there. “Fixin to ….” is a very common phrase. Example: “I’m fixin’ to go to the store” the use of “to fix” confuses northerners to no end.
