NOBODY says "Deep South" except a bunch of yankee- ass yankees who have never been to the South.
Seriously, I never heard the term "Deep South" growing up in Georgia.
Back on topic, I did go through a pretty bad tornado in Statesboro.
Jeff Foxworthy talks about the “deep South” a lot. Have you ever heard the skit he did about his father-in-law’s Louisiana cooking? “Why that’s southern cookin’ with *hot* sauce”.
