"I lived in Williamsburg, VA for a year."
or
Some of my best friends are southerners.
same ignorance.
Dontcha just hate those that "live in VA" for a year and spend the rest of their lives acting like experts on the south, only really showing their ignorance??
ugh.
That statement isn't meant to be repulsive either. Of course not.
(rolling eyes)
I grew up in eastern NC, and my grandparents (and the rest of my Mom's folks) lived in middle TN. I now live in Norfolk. Some parts of VA are NOT southern! (metropolitan Hampton Roads, northern VA, etc.)
