I got 24 right. The car questions threw me. April Jo learned how to eat her grits from me. Put lots of butter and syrup on them and then they are edible

Yes....I remember now, the chickkies all groove on that smooth, southern accent ;)

(The one chick in the general store probably gave ya free Dew...lol)

But southern accents are different right? They vary according to state?

I only got 11. But I'm a transplant to the south from California, so I get a break!

And btw, I do like grits. Little butter, little salt...mmmmmm....

Rup, the accents can vary within a state. For example, people from Charleston SC (called the Low-country region) have a slightly slower drawl than the Upstate region of SC.

That's very cool, Beachy.

I know accents originally developed when people didn't venture too far from home because a trip involved a horse and buggy...lol but I wondering, in say, one hundred years if accents will be more homogenized due to the fact that people are so much more mobile these days?

That's a possibility Rupertbear. I've seen people move away from kentucky for a couple of years and move back without an accent. After a year or so back in good ol kentucky they get thier accent back. :o)

It's like a virus I tell ya. :o)

That's very true. I grew up in Arkansas,but have lived in Houston for over twenty years. My drawl has disappeared,but get me around my parents,and I revert right back to my hillbilly glory!

Lol, well one of these years I gotta venture over to the States, cos I wanna hear those lovely accents myself.

It's true, now that you guys mention it, 'cos if i get together with my Dad and siblings...our accents change a wee bit, when we are together.

One of my sons is into Feudal Japan/Shogun...all that kind of thing.

And Jed...if you love all that stuff you are going to have a stupendous time over there.

I haven't been to Scotland myself but England and Ireland are packed full of all the stuff you want to see.

And Ireland is called Ireland Of The Welcomes because they're all so friendly over there.

Ack! I only got 4 right! I guess I'm a good ole Midwesterner that doesn't know anything about the South!

0 - 9 Don't EVEN ask. (You even missed the grits question, didn't you?)

I've eaten grits and didn't know what they were made from...that's just sad :-)

Well, not being Southern I didn't know how to eat them properly and I ate them plain!

Maybe if I had eaten them with strawberry jam I would've like em a whole lot better. I'll try and remember that one for next time Rupertbear cuz that sounds like a great idea! hehe

I am seriously offended. I was born and raised in the south, and I only managed snowbird level. (You eat your grits with sugar, don't you?)

Actually, grits with sugar sounds gross. I prefer mine mixed with some butter, some yolk from the fried egg next to it and sprinkled with bacon.

I blame my low score on the yankee husband.

26 A true daughter of the south Pfffftttt! My ex would love to hear that. One I missed was the cata??? hog dog - where I came from they just call them hounds!

Eat grits? Yes! I like grits. Most people who have tried grits and don't like them, did not have a good bowl of grits. If made right there is no grit to them. I've heard some people say they've eaten grits with milk and sugar like cream of wheat - patoooie! Miss_Wings has the best recipe so far.
