Wack worthy?,Like that hella thick southern drawl accent? Such a big ass turn on, love girls with that accent.
Thanks for your honesty X. I assure you however, that we are all not like that.Southern drawls make people sound um, stupid. Not sure what it is, but I instantly start talking slower and using smaller words around southerners.

It is a horrible misconception that just because someone is southern that they fill the southern stereotype.
In larger cities it is less common. For example, I live in Raleigh and the only time I notice an accent is if someone is from a small town.
However, to answer the original question: Small town, USA man. Just pick a southern state and look for the rural counties/cities/etc. and I'm sure you'll find one.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to watch Andy Griffith. Viva la Mayberry, ya'll! :woohoo:
Variety's the spice of lifeSoutherners seem to chuck out the rules and completely mangle the english language in addition to the drawl.
It's almost as bad as Ebonics.

But seriously, I know what you mean about the horrible grammar. In fact, this one person I was talking with told me of this one town she used to live in (I think it was in Tennessee or Kentucky.) She said that their accents were so strong that it was affecting their spelling. Being young and using phonetics to sound out words, these kids had a difficult time spelling words properly because of their accents. That's ridiculous!
You forgot the double-negative:I've been around the block a few times and I know that it is a stereotype and a misconception. I've met some wonderful (and smart) southerners and I've met some stupid northerners.
I absolutely despise the New England accent (Mass and Maine are the worst - think Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons). But it is just that, an accent. Southerners seem to chuck out the rules and completely mangle the english language in addition to the drawl.

English language is the English language and there are rules that it consists of. Perhaps you mean no one dialect is superior. Do your local newscasters speak with a southern drawl too? I've been to other rural parts of the country and while the lifestyle is different, they don't sound so 'backwoods' as someone in the hills of Kentucky or Tennessee.they're all socially-marked forms. but from a linguistic standpoint, no one language is superior to another in its form.
Southerners sound dumb to city folk because they are both from two different worlds. Southerners do not have to think fast on the roads, in town, or at work. It is all based off of lifestyle. Southerners have the luxury of thinking at a relaxed pace, and hence, speak at a relaxed pace. City folk, however, live at a fast pace and speak accordingly. Both people get their benefits from the environment they choose.
I personally prefer the Southern way of living. I hope to never stay in a city too long, and if I do, I hope I can still talk/think/live as relaxed as I wish.
nah, i'm not debating. what i meant was exactly what you just said. no one language/its dialects are superior to another. and as far as your transition, i can relate. it is good once you settle in, ain't it?English language is the English language and there are rules that it consists of.

You've never been to Denver then. This has got to be one of the most 'relaxed' places on earth, esp. in the work place. Aside from Hawaii where everything is done on 'island time', even in Honolulu. It drove me nuts for the first year I was here from the East Coast where everything needed to be done yesterday. It took a little getting used to, but I feel better now that I am not racing around at 100mph.
not at all, m'man. you can find a gal with a drawl in a southern city. it's just that over time, we all tend to unconsciously change our accent to match with the environ we're in. but it's never completely lost. i've been in arkansas for over 5 years now, and people can still tell that i'm from up north when i speak. vice versa, y'know?Im thinking on moving to a southern state and would like to be in a big city, but your saying pretty much that its kinda rare to find a girl with a thick accent in the city? And I love how cheap it is to live in the southern city's, I live in NorCal and its so expensive compared to anywhere else pretty much.
Thank Andy Griffith for that one - he created dumb-cracker humour almost single-handed (Justin Wilson & Bro. Dave Gardner followed on).Southern drawls make people sound um, stupid. Not sure what it is, but I instantly start talking slower and using smaller words around southerners.
I guess there are no southern cities, then? 'Bout 4 million folks here would wonder at that...Southerners sound dumb to city folk because they are both from two different worlds.
I think we all know more or less what kinds of southern accents there can be.
Has anyone heard the northern Vermont accent? I never knew it existed until I moved here!
It's tough to describe...first time I heard it, I had a contractor over my place to give me an estimate, and he said the side of my house looked like the side of a barn, but he said "barn" kind of like "bay-arn." And so on and so forth...
At first I thought it was just the older folks, but two younger guys I play paintball with speak like that too!
Damnit why did you put those saying up there. I matched all but 2. I'm from texas, but I must admit. It has it's benefits. when I talk to someone from deep east texas it's real strong.
