“Not one kid from the Tennessee team had a Tennessee accent, or any kind of Southern sounding accent.”
The South has been invaded by cocka-roaches from around the planet, they love moving to Nashville and ‘discovering’ it. I thank God for the wise and compassionate New Yorkers who lifted us up from Cracker barbarity. I even read an article about this Yankee lady ‘discovering’ Primm Springs in Hickman Cty. (where my people have been living since the late 1700’s) and I never knew the rustic charm before that moment.
It’s a changing world ain’t it.
Here in Dallas you sure don’t hear the Texas accent a lot.
LOL!!
We were in Nashville a while ago and I had a lot of trouble understanding some of the people. It was funny when, after hearing us N. Ohioans talk, they said, “You’re not from around here.” I restrained myself from saying, “No shit? How could you tell?”
But the people were very nice and cheerful, unlike some of my neighbors.
