I enjoy using an older title: “War of Northern Aggression”.

When we first arrived here in GreenAcres (rural NWGA) I was commenting to someone about living in an area rich with Civil War history (specifically, the taking of "The General"). Someone gently said to me, in a wonderful southern drawl, "Son, you need to understand that we don't call it the 'Civil War' here. In these parts it's known as 'The War of Northern Aggression'".

Still puts a smile on my face to remember that encounter.

And 'Waw-uh' is a two-syllable word.
