And none of us sound like that tool from the movie "The Big Easy."
Also, I say y'all. And a tip from anybody who ever wants to come down here and fit in- it's not a median, it's a "neutral ground." But that one is excusable. However, don't ever call it New Orleens or, even worse, N'Awlins. This makes us want to slap you.
My favorite accent, ever, was two girls from Memphis I met at spring break in Florida one year. Good god- just to hear them talk, I could taste their sweetness. Sexiest things i have ever seen.
