Because my husband was in the oil bidness, we did know a lot of Cajuns when we lived there — except they called themselves “coona$$es” and said it with pride. The wife of an Exxon exec even drove around town with a bumpersticker on her station wagon that proclaimed, “Proud to be a Coon Ass”.

That’s what I thought. I guess I’ll just have infiltrate Boise and squat for a year or so. That way when I move north, I’ll be able to say I’m from Boise and I couldn’t take living in the big city any longer.

In certain areas it is indeed the two words but often pronounced like “you wall” with the stress on the “you.”

You can retire to Minnesota where...

They give you a plate of lutefisk and when you ask "Are you daring me to take a bite of this?" they just look at you funny.

I'm pretty sure you got all that Texas "ax's" all wrong. First, Texans don't ask nothin' cause they are always "tellin'" sump'n.
I tell you what...
I been tellin' you...
Fixin' to tell you right now...

Who is always "ax'in" sump'n are Cajuns. Hurt my ears with all their ax'in this, and ax'in that! And half time, it ain't even a question.

I think y'all is plural, unless you're pist. I'm pretty sure, otherwise, singular is stuff like sug/sugar, hun/honey, or sweetie [sweet something or 'nother].

Texas is an attitude. I'm not sure Texans retire. I think they just reinvent play.

Message to most Yankees, TEXAS is horrible especially around Houston.. It’s so much better up north, 4 seasons and all.. There is a way of thinking that becomes so frustrating, no rules, no controls, people do damn well anything they wish..

I know first hand.. From an uprooted Chicagoan, 45 years ago... uncross fingers.. LOL

So that's what that stuff looks like. I'm from the south-west, and have only heard about it. Usually in the context of some joke about 'the worst food imaginable'.

I don't even want to ask what's in it.

You can retire in northern Michigan, where;

1). You don’t take your dog(s) to the vet when they return home with two hundred porcupine quills in their mouths, nose, gums, and tongue, because it happens too often to pay that much money, so you hold them down with scissors and pliers and do it yourself.

2). Your trashcans/bags at the end of your driveway are in a protective structure in order to keep wildlife out, up to the size of a raccoon, because the bears will tear down anything you built stronger anyway.

3). Locals fall into three categories; Yoopers (live north of the Mackinaw bridge, Trolls (live under/just south of the bridge), and Fudgies (downstaters on vacation).

4). Snowbelt areas measure snowfall for the season in tens of feet.

All right, I did get lizards in my kitchen occasionally. I didn’t count them because the battles with ants and roaches were far more common. At least once I resorted to the Samurai approach; I told my family, “If the roaches win, I hope to die with honor.”

And then sometimes I had to chase a frog through the house. The little bitty tree frogs were the worst; they’re so jumpy that you think they spent the tadpole stage of life in a coffee pot, instead of a pond.

5). You know why downstaters are called “fudgies” (the local specialty is Mackinaw fudge)

6). You eat “pasties” for dinnner.
