“drug”? “should have went”?
Paradox my friend, if these upset you , then by all means NEVER come to the Deep South. “fixin’ to”, “mash a button”, “if I had my druthers”, “y’all”...we’d drive you crazy inside of a week. Our drawl alone can drive off Yankees like spraying silverfish with Black Flag.
The 1st chapter of Florence King’s book Southern Ladies and Gentlemen is entitled “Build a fence around the South and you’ll have the world’s largest madhouse”. For the sake of your own sanity please take that to heart.
Funny enough, the “should have went” is what I hear all the time from our more urban dwellers... Is the usage of “drug” new? I dont recall seeing it used that much before.
What’s wrong with “if I had my druthers”?
” ... Florence King’s book Southern Ladies and Gentlemen ... “
One of my all time favorite books. I was in bed, the first time I read it, and was laughing so hard I had to sit up or choke. She nails it but I love the south and southerners.
