Southern Language

Unfortunately, ever since they won the War, our friends at the frozen Nawth have looked down upon our lovely, euphonious Southern speech as something déclassé.  But the late humorist and author Lewis Grizzard from Georgia sets the record straight in this clip that makes your Head Trucker howl with laughter.  Maybe you will too:




Update: My truckbuddy Frank has posted a reply of sorts over at Reluctant Rebel, go check it out. I reckon it's a reply - hard to tell since it's in some weird furrin language.

I don't get it. We don't say "pop" in Connecticut. That was eight minutes and forty-two seconds I could have spent over at "I Should Be Laughing".

Bless your heart, Frank, of course you wouldn't get it up there in that place you live at. It's all right, you're excused.
