Super User slonezp Posted October 31, 2013 Super User Posted October 31, 2013 Crappie is pronounced croppie, not crappy. We don't have brim or bream or shellcrackers, they are bluegills and sunfish. crawfish is pronounced crayfish, We also don't have bugs or snakes that will kill you where you lie, we have people for that. Depending on your travels, pop, soda, and coke all mean the same thing except when you stop at Taco Bell or Culvers and they ask "Are Pepsi products ok?" Pizza is also known as pie. Spaghetti sauce is called gravy. If you make it to any of the major cities and eat the food, you may never find your way back home. 5 Quote

First words outta my mouths gonna be a big ol' "How yall boys doin up heya!?!" By God I got this planned out. Glad I got a Mississippi boy and a Georgia boy going too. They are in on it too. 3 Quote
