The only thing everyone makes fun of my accent for is the long O's we use like in Home and Phone. Other than that I don't use any of the redneck speak people here use.

I have a touch of the elongated O's from my time in Minnesoooota. Much of that has faded since moving to GA, though. I can really hear it in my family's voices when I call home. Fortunately, I don't seem to be picking up any of the twang due to Atlanta being a city of transients.. I only know one person here that actually *grew up* in Atlanta. You don't find that often. He has no accent. On the flip side, I have been forced to acknowledge that occassionally "y'all" can be a convenient word.

One of my coworkers from Columbus, GA, has just the slightest touch of a southern accent. Most noticible in her "M"s, which she pronounces as "elm". I'm not sure how an "L" sneaks in there.

"everything she says sounds like it went through a curling iron"

that's how southerner's speak, hehe. in charleston, many people say "cooper" like "cuppah" and better like "bettah"

ok after 3 different PM's for this recipe I will now post the famous....Mad Old kahar's Italian Sausage Stew

1 pound Hot Italian sausage.
1 Pound of Sweet sausage(substitute with any different flavor sausage.
2 can of beef broth.
2 can of White beans (canaleni)
2 can of kidney beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes (del monte garlic and basil if possible substitue with regualr or any other seasoned)
3 to 4 sprigs of fresh basil or 5 teaspoons of dried basil
1-4 table spoon of minced garlic. deppending on your taste
cook sausage (save the drippings if possible, add to stew)
in crock pot add all cans
cut up the sausage in to bite size peices and add to soup.
add seasoning.
let simmer for 20 minutes and serve with Foccia bread.


We usually make about twice this size and the cowst is about 20.00 for enough food to feed a family of 5 and have leftovers to feed us the next day.

If you double try and add different types of beans. the more different types the change of flavor.

This is the base soup and we have found other sausages to be more enjoyable then others.

ps, "ya'll" should be "y'all", i.e. it's abbreviated from you all

I'm from Mississippi, but I don't have much of an accent. I do say y'all though, but that's less of an accent thing, and more of a convenience thing

You'ens = Ya'll + 3 (I think I heard that from Jeff Foxworthy too)

yeah because English is such a pure, pristine language that hasn't borrowed words from other languages at all. A lot of the words you use all the time are just bastardized remnants of french/greek/german/latin words.

Most people mistake my accent for English. If I'm drunk and the other person is drunk I'm often mistaken for being Irish.
