Parents who move South tell her they don’t want their children to learn to say “yes, sir” or “yes, ma’am.”
Then you stay your rude yankee @ss where you are then and leave us alone. We didn’t ask you to come South. This is our turf - respect it, respect us or leave.
Just as soon as you take back your southern cousins who have infested Ohio with their white trash ghettos.
Yes, ma’am! You have nailed the appropriate response! Like when a young friend lamented that his new California bosses (he’d moved from Lubbock) told him he should refrain from using the word “y’all” in emails, I told him his response should be, “Y’all can kiss my Texas a$$ - y’all!”
Not exactly mannerly, but certainly appropriate.
