How 'bout HUG YOUR NECK, a action of appreciation, or welcome. "I haven't seen Momma in so long I hugged her neck when she came in for Christmas." Did you know that there were 3 fireman that visited the infant Jesus. Sure 'nough. It says that the 3 wisemen came from a "far" the see the infant. LOL

We may speak funny, but you can bet your beans we r good people's ! Born raised and will never leave the south, cept maybe for a cation ( vacation for Uwn who don't know any better). Lol

To quote one of my favorite people, Brother Dave Gardner (The Voice of the South):

"We Southerners may not always be right, but by god we ain't never wrong!"

My mother was from Tennessee. I still have "kinfolk" down there.

I wonder how many knows what this phrase is all about : " I'll slap a hair lip on you like a wave on a slop bucket !".

My Dad used to say "I'll put a knot on your head that a calf could suck".

Here's a fun little test that's in the spirit of this thread.

Are You a Yankee or a Rebel? - alphaDictionary * Southern Accent Test

If you google rebel or a Yankee test there are several that come up and if you answer honestly they usually are pretty close as to where you grew up .

My results usually come up about 55% dixie and since I'm about 50 miles south of the Mason Dixon line that's pretty darn close.

Yes, the only difference around here it was hotter than a $2 pistol.. but I guess our stolen pistols are a little cheaper:laughing: but our boar "teets" are still worthless and any boar found in a peach orchard is pretty darn crazy!:laughing:
