That is soooo true lol .Anybody ever been to the area called Dark Corner in South Carolina?Where they pump the sunshine in lol.Thats where most of my family came from they had a article in the paper about our speech.We are all Scots /Irish immigrants that moved to the mountian and pretty much shot you if you tried to come on the mountian.We speak English/Scots mix and have our own accent from staying on the mountian and allowing few people in .Grandparents were a mess to understand unless you were use to being around them and the mountian folk.I still slip into the backwoods talk sometimes if I get comfy just comes out lol then I get those looks like what the **** did you just say?
