My mil is old school Va and there hardly a time were together that some new to me old time phrase comes out, my bil and I have talked about writing a book. lol

Does anyone ever use the term "foot accelerator" ? she and my wife do.lol

I havent heard this in a while, but old timers around here called it the "foot feed". I guess on older cars was there also a hand throttle?

I also think that was the origin as the early cars had hand throttles.

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.
Mine came up 85% Dixie. Wanted to know if I still used Confederate money.
