Word of advice. Don't expect to get any more respect from some people as a "good Yankee" by distancing yourself from the "bad Yankees"--if you've got a northern accent, you're going to face sh!t from people no matter what kind of person you are.

I don't believe a word of it!

Every southerner I've had the pleasure of doing business with has been polite to a fault!  Though I'm glad I understand what it means when a Southerner says "Bless your heart darlin'".

Why, I was 18 years old before I knew that damn Yankee was more than one word....
