[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 109576, member: 3647"] When I used to drive OTR, it was a lot of fun to learn not just the different slang but the different dialects. After awhile, I could pretty much tell what state I was in (or close anyways) by listening to the accent. And EVERYONE, everywhere I went, knew I was from Chicago. I never knew I had an accent before. Musta picked it up it in the fronchroom. OK, who says kitty corner, who says caddy corner? Is it a porch or a stoop? Is it "over there", "yonder", "up the road a piece", or "over by dere?" Do you sit for awhile or for a spell? COme to think of it, do you sit at all, or do you set? Do you say yes, yeah, yep, ayuh, uh-huh, sure, affirmative, aye-aye cap'n? [/QUOTE]
