LOL! So true, all of it!
I've been using the word ya'll since the summer of '06 and it's entirely your fault!!!
My favorite is "Ya'll watch this" you KNOW there is some dummy about to half kill himself.....
What about hamburgers you can get "all the way?" (includes slaw)
But, don't ask for fry sauce.
Or the word "carry" involves a ride to somewhere . . .
Wow, well done!
May I add that your granddaddy where's overalls everday all year long, no shirt in the summer. I've already taken that tradition up north.
Also, if you have a friend named Dale, he is called, "Dell".
Hope to see y'all Tuesday!
I feel like that is me most of the time. I am not from Georgia but I should have been. This is Ben, not Jenn. I love Georgia and we all need to go down there sometime.
