Hehe, my cousins live in South Carolina, and they use y'all all the time. Tis funny.
Yeah...I mean, us people in MN always get joked about for our "Minn--eeee--soooooo-taaaaaaaaahh" accent, but truth be told, it's really not that bad. Most of the Midwest kind of shares the same sort of dialect and enunciation. However, technically, it IS still an accent, because we're obviously going to speak differently than, say, the south. So to others, it's an accent -- just not a hugely noticeable one.

Well you should just come down to deep in Texas and listen to how we all talk compared to you Northerners. ;D Slow talkers meet fast talkers. I actually have an aunt from Michigan who I don't talk much different from her but I don't use a ton of the slangs and such from around here all the time if you know what I mean. Like I pronounce a lot of my words like a Northerner though I don't know why or wear I got it from.

Haha I'm northern to the core, for all I hate winter. I've lived here my whole life, so i've never really picked up on southern things. But I use a lot of the local slang and such. LIke i believe we call Coca Cola and such pop up here, and i think you all call it soda or something. I've heard that. I'd never call it a soda. Haha.

I sometimes call it soda, and sometimes pop. I know that people down in Kentucky and areas down there call it "coke," which I find to be odd. "Hi, I would like an Orange Coke, thanks."

Yes, it would be funny. They'd get a Coke! And if they said something like Orange Coke, then they'd get a funny look from the vendor.

Yeah, but that's like us drinking cold tea down here and going up to the north and asking for cold tea in a restruant and we get funny looks. We're like, you put some ice in a cup refrigerated tea. lol ;D

Er...that'd be iced tea. I can imagine why you'd get weird looks. I'd be given you weird looks too!

Cold tea? As in Nestea or something like that? I have never heard it once referred to as "Cold Tea."

It's either cold tea or iced tea down here. There used interchangably so sorry if it sounds funny to you but it's correct for down here.

Ah! Iced tea. That's recognizable. Of course, there are probably quirky words that we have up here that would confuse others.

HAHA! Hot dish! As in like Turkey Hotdish or something like that. I always use casserole, though. It sounds much cooler than "hotdish"
