1. "You guys"
This sounds so odd to me, still. It's y'all.
2. “Can we go that Bojangles place again”?
Welcome to the club, my friend.
3. “What’s that country song we were listening to earlier?”
Something else that will rub off on you. My best friend from NYC sent me a text over the summer, and I quote “You would literally die. My mom and I are dancing to country music.”
4. “I know all the words to Wagon Wheel.”
Face palm. Who doesn’t?5. “When I went home all my friends made fun of me because I had a Southern accent.”
Did I do that?
6. “Ugh, I’m craving a bagel.”
Bagels are like the North’s biscuits.
7. “I literally can’t even."
Some Southern girls may say this too, but to each their own.
8. “How do I pump gas?”
Specifically for all the Jersey kids, who have people up there to do that.
9. “Do you ride horses?”
I have literally been asked this at least 6 times in my one year at WFU. Seriously? I have a country accent but I’m by no means a cowgirl.
10. “Winston Salem is a small town."
Winston Salem is not small… at all… whatsoever. It’s actually pretty big. Over seven times more people live in Winston than in my home town.
11. “How do I pump gas?”
This goes out to all the Jersey kids who have people to do that for them up there.
12. Oh my god, you’re accent is so cute.
You come to my state
and tell me I have an accent? But, I know.
13. Where are you from? … Oh where’s that?
It’s in
the middle of nowhere, close to nothing and very small. Does that clear things up?
14. “It’s so hot outside.”
It is
hot, but not as hot as you think. It’s
the humidity. It will kick your tail I
know. Better than the winter though!
