I've lost quite a bit of my accent but I still get silly remarks about it here in CA.

Oh and shoes for baby J - Robeez all the way, Target even has a generic version of them, but here's the Robeez website: www.robeez.com . They are supposed to be the best thing for little ones learning how to walk because it's almost like being barefoot, but it takes away the redneck, shoeless problem! :)

For anyone interested in seeing first hand, Boston levels of rudeness, go see the movie "The Departed." It is one of the best depictions of the city and it's colorful language use.

MB - Are you not a pastor? Did you not know you elderly parishioners? Sometimes age gives license for what at a younger age would be considered inappropriate.

Would you believe that it was an older woman who s...

Would you believe that it was an older woman who said that to me? You'd think she would know better.

TLS--As I recall, that became a favorite quote of many of us who lived together that year.

I have to agree with tls--if that's considered the peak of rudeness down south, well, let's just stay the south is still incredibly polite compared to other areas of the country :)

Also, there's a difference between rude and just plain STUPID. I'm not sure which is worse...

MB, I just can't believe your short time over the Mason Dixon Line polluted your dialect that much!

I think you're Southern, and I'm about as Yankee as you get. My mom claims she can trace our family back to George Washington's Mother.

Jay, I can believe it! Yankees are the most proven...

2006-10-10T08:20:00.000-05:00

Jay, I can believe it! Yankees are the most provencial folk I've met. And Mainers...well, they're even worse!

Jennifer, Exactly!! Josh was so disappointed not to have married a southern girl, yet all my parishioners laugh if I even suggest calling myself a Yank. Oh, the pleasure of living in the liminal space of Ohio!

MB, just remember as rude as that was, it can't even touch Boston levels of rudeness. Josh's favorite quote over heard on the T is "F**k you, you F***ing F***!"

TLS, I've lived in Southern Ohio my whole life, and it's funny - people south of here think we're Yankees and people north of here think we're hilljacks.

tls,

If it were only that easy. My Grandmother lived in Waldoboro, ME for more than 25 years. During that time she traced her lineage to Governor Bradford himself, but she was still considered by some to be "from away."

Oh my word! How incredibly rude. You really should...

Oh my word! How incredibly rude. You really should let the girl's manager know.

Damn yankees! Living in MA, I have discovered I am not a true yankee even though I grew up a whole 10 miles north of the Ohio River. In New England you need to have proof of lineage back to the Mayflower to get called a local!
