Unfortunately, yes, you’re right. It’s not real nation. It’s just south dialect.

No, it's not. I grew up in the South. If you didn't, you have no right to even say these things.

I know, but then the sentence would be clunky. It's usually not considered "the south".

pkaye | karma 8777 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2020-03-16 18:51:26

I just meant it as a joke of south vs north.

A mythical small southern town, since the real thing isn’t anything like what you are implying.

I don't understand. It sounds like you're saying that the South "runs the country" in the wording of the original claim.

As clearly stated in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article I linked, you’re confusing the “Deep South” and the “South.”

It's from Southern American English.

rinchik | karma 296 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2019-11-01 17:07:13

Oh right! My bad, apologies. We northerners always forget that south exists and different.

thfuran | karma 7179 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2024-05-22 22:15:29

I'm confused. Do you think there aren't states in the deep south?

0des | karma 4899 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2022-06-12 23:07:07

Similar in some ways, but no, just the south.

throwanem | karma 18321 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2020-06-22 12:03:48+00:00

No. This is whining about you using the South as an excuse to pretend to an undeservedly good one.

asveikau | karma 11849 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2023-05-15 10:56:01

Southern English here means southern England. Like London. Contrast that with something like Manchester.

Not the US south.

ctoth | karma 9744 | avg karma 7.64 · | 2023-10-06 11:49:05

I'm from the south and have never once heard anything like this. Any source? It sounds like a caricature.

rmc | karma 15660 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2014-02-13 06:02:14

It's a part of the US called "The South". Which has it's own cultural identity...

lupusreal | karma 1626 | avg karma 1.0 · | 2023-12-25 09:47:59

If you're not Southern and/or an AAVE speaker, then saying yall is cringe.

RajT88 | karma 5763 | avg karma 2.87 · | 2022-09-22 16:56:47

I have seen thick southern/country accepts get subtitled on reality shows, FWIW.

jdminhbg | karma 8659 | avg karma 4.29 · | 2016-04-07 05:03:17+00:00

Only if you have trouble distinguishing Appalachia from the South.

smt88 | karma 21138 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2018-07-25 15:11:26+00:00

The site is a regional publication for the Southeastern US, and it has "Southerner" in the name. So it's not vaguely geographically defined at all.

raverbashing | karma 22421 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2018-04-06 12:15:40+00:00

Agreed, but one of the Is is not south
