Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / May 2008Any one from Georgia?
What is it with women in Georgia? My cousin went over there with his friend, who had met a girl from Georgia online. His is now married to her, and my cousin is heading back there, after only being back in the UK a couple of weeks, to live someone he met there. Its got to be the accent, either that or you put something in the water :)  Signaturescrum (\_/) Procrastinator bunny says: ( . .)

It is the accent my dear, plus half the northeast is being relocated to the Atlanta area as their companies move there. So, perhaps the accent is not that of a Georgia peach!

Hahahaaaa!!! When I drove from Alabama to SC I noticed a distinct accent change the farther east I went.

Careful what you wish for. I've just listened to the Georgia accent on Youtube, and I'm already half way there. I don't know what the rest of the US makes of it, but that accent just sounds so damned cute to my English ears :) What was that TV series, Grace something, loved the accent the women had on that Signaturescrum (\_/) Procrastinator bunny says: ( . .)

The Ranger -- > Okay, I'll bite. What are grits? Don't listen to Ranger, he is from the Left Coast and has no idea what good food is. Grits are ground white corn, cooked into kind of a porridge (<---please note semi-Brit word!) and served (usually) with breakfast: with sausage and gravy, eggs, biscuits (not the sweet kind you are used to) and maybe hash browned potatoes. At dinner, we occasionally eat shrimp and grits...a spicy concoction of shrimp and peppers and onions poured over cheesey grits. Delish. Beth...wooden spoon in hand... >> Okay, I'll bite.

If you want a more savory dish, garlic and cheese is great too. Cream of Wheat,m if you are familiar with that, tastes kind of like grits, but less salty. Grits are to the American South as polenta is to Italy, as cornmeal mush is to various parts of the US. Fried cornmeal mush, haven't had that in ages! >> What was that TV series, Grace something, loved the accent the women had >> on that [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > So just come on, we'll leave the light on for you, and I will find some of > my cute single (nurse!) friends to show you the sights!

I am however a born and mostly bred Carolina Tarheel. The Southern accent is strong through us all. even living in California for almost 3 years, mine is still the same.We have a whole family of those who speak with a twang. My sons's speech pathologist was a bit challenged trying to work with his speech and language delays and his Carolina accent. She asked us not to work with him at home since we have a rather different pronunciations for damn near everything. The first question I get at most places is "Where are you from? It's obviously not here ." I like it. It is part of what makes me unique and is part of who I am. Of course, all of us love a bit of a British accent too though. Living in Scotland tends to get you hooked on it. Cindi > I like it. It is part of what makes me unique and is part of who I am. Of > course, all of us love a bit of a British accent too though.

Some southerners tend to accentuate the accent for the attention it brings them from our northern pals. Funny, I don't know why some guys (and women, for that matter) fall so hard for it. Seems that either others love it or hate it and think it makes one sound stupid. Oh, well. Maybe the fashion will change some day and Brooklyn accents will be all the rage!
