From a born and size bred Texan with a damn yankee (oops, native of OHIO), as a wife, the correct response would have been 'excuse me' or 'pardon'.

'What' expresses attitude.

'What' don't muster many warm and fuzzy thoughts.

'What' keeps ya in the South longer than you want to be here, with a close quaters buddy named Bubba who doesn't like Yankees or attitudes, or Yankee attitudes.

Y'all come back now.

Well...I'm living in Tennessee now...your right..."what" would be a Massachusetts response...I'm now say..."I'm sorry...I didn't hear you...could you repeat that?"

When I was in Texas, a group of us went up to Oklahoma to go to driving school, for Semi's and various other large Oil Field Servicing trucks.

Our "instructor" would usually sleep until it was time to change drivers, I have a picture of him sleeping while he was "teaching" us how to drive.

One day he said, "When you get to Alton, turn left."

Well when we got to the next town, we woke him up to see which way we should go, because we couldn't find Alton.

We told him so and he pointed to the City Sign and said we're here, this is Alton.

The sign said Oiltown.
