I know this is a humor thread, but when is Hollywood going to learn that there is more than one southern accent?

Notice you said "acted up". That's how I was raised to call misbehaving.

Where did this "acted out" come from. I hear that everywhere now.

We eat breakfast, lunch, and supper. For the longest time, I had no idea what anyone meant by the word "dinner." :)

Everybody tawks funny except us Noo Yawkers . . .

When I first moved to NC people would ask me where I was from. I would say New York. Better than 90% of those who asked me would respond, "what part of the city?"

Their bewildermint upon learning I was not from the city would lead to a geography lesson.
