You see, it’s funny for me having been living for the past 3 years in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. You hear “Bless your heart!”, “Bless your cotton socks” etc as words of appreciation or having done something kind, a real good deed. When you describe a patient who particularly miserable etc we say “It’s a sin!” As a sign of feeling truly sorry for that’s person’s suffering and misfortune. Looks like it’s complete opposite in the South of US…..
As I would assume most Southerners would ask, "What part. What's your favorite food. Can you teach it to me. Tell me about your family. Want some biscuits and gravy..." Least that's where most of my family would of went. I've met quite a few people from Africa, and my Uncle has visited.
I love how her accent legit got thicker the angrier she got. This is totally me when angry or tired. I've lived in the midwest for over 30 years, but lived in the quasi-south for the first 5 years of my life, not to mention how much time we spent visiting back home. It was endlessly entertaining for my friends.
This video hit home. I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I went to school in Massachusetts and California. Sometimes, it got on my last nerve. First, they would always ask why I didn't have an accent. Then, I got the cousins marrying thing. Then, it was the condescending "I am so impressed that you are in school here." And, finally, the big one (or two): Either, it was "you're not angry because I'm a Yankee, are you?" To which I respond "not everybody in the South is still fighting the Civil War!" Or, my personal favorite, "You must be so happy to get away from all that racist!" There is ALWAYS something that they just did that proves how stupid that question was. My favorite is when I get to ask them why they crossed the street when three black teenagers walked towards them.
I'm the same way but I've lived in the south save for 8 years in Hawaii when I was a child. People know that I'm angry when my accent picks up. Theu know not to mess with me. 😅
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. However, I did spend a couple years in high school at a boarding school in Pennsylvania in the mid-80's...over Reagan's re-election campaign. Summer of '85 we had one girl arrive from another boarding school in South Carolina. She had the cutest accent I had heard, so I was thrown for a loop when she told us she was from Indiana. Then again, that fall, finishing high school back home, I can still recall my first day of Home Ec. class. We all introduced ourselves - there were really only 5 of us in an elective class - and I happened to mention that I had spent the last couple of years down in the US. As I was heading back to my seat, our teacher said "Yes, I can hear a bit of your American accent.", and I was thinking "Huh? *WHAT* accent?"
And wrestle polar bears, right? 😂 Actually, all my assumptions about Alaskans involve chopping firewood and being so robust you scare germs and small mammals.
Don't feel bad, when we moved to Oklahoma from California I had to explain that I didn't know how to surf that I didn't know any movie stars and we didn't live on the beach..
@@kthwkr Then you know the mess up there recently with the "no Uber" then "yes Uber but with conditions" to "no Uber but yes LYFT but also no to family pickup " to you have to rent a car if you want to leave by car from the airport" to whatever rule they have now. I hate Atlanta traffic and it always seems like those rules effect how bad it gets. It is never good .... ok it was during lock down and the majority of people didn't drive but before and after traffic around the airport is only beat by the traffic for the exit to I-20 on I-285. So if you have to go south or east or south east when you get out of the airport you are fucked if you are in the beginning of the day or end of the day or at 2am to 4am. Atlanta traffic sucks even compared to the layovers you get in the Atlanta airport. Thankfully it is also the last airplane stop for me to which mean car traffic is a nightmare.
I have not flown for like 50 years, but once I had to take a Greyhound bus, and of course I had a layover in Atlanta! They say when you die, as you go to heaven you will have a layover in Atlanta!
She has an accent, she just likely saw a speech therapist to mellow it out because southerners are discriminated against in job markets outside of the south.
So this confirms what I’ve always suspected. Being from the south in America is like being Northern in UK the other end of the country still wonders if you have colour TV and running water. Bless your heart Londoners.
Too true,. I'm from Alabama and was literally asked if we had television by a Yankee..... Really? And , I've had several British friends, and I realized years ago that it is reversed in U.K.
YESSSS so many "actors" pride themselves on being able to do a "southern accent" and its NEVER right. They never heard the melody we tend to have in our word infliction
Yeah, I speak standard English now but I had to learn to do it. If I'm talking to somebody who was raised in some place like old Nevada, it comes back.
I moved to the south from California 30 yrs ago in my 40s. I love the Southern accent, the manners, everything. But TV and social media have done so much to strip away regional differences, and it's a loss. I'm fiercely defensive of the south. My mother was born and raised in Alabama, left in her 20s, and dealt with a lot of ignorance about where she was from. Somehow white southerners are still acceptable targets for discrimination. Not ok.
The stereotype can be crippling. My friend worked really hard to erase his Alabama accent when he was admitted to a medical school in NJ. Granted Alabama has a slew of issues but I thought his bama accent was cute
This is, by far, the BEST episode! I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and everything about this is so true! I may talk with a distinct Southern accent, by that by no means should be an indicator of my level of intelligence!
Most of my experience with visiting the South was visiting an uncle who lives in Virginia (he was an executive with a government contractor) and taking a vacation in Florida (mostly in the Keys; wife had friends who lived in Marathon). Oh, and a layover in DFW on the flight home.
Like my mamma always said, “it don’t matter if you’re traveling to heaven or hell, you WILL have a layover in Atlanta”. Delta, the next best thing to getting there.
Delta probably has a secret policy that requires all passengers get a taste of being in the South by having to have layovers, especially in Atlanta. Hard to think we all live in the sticks when you see how big Atlanta is.
I used to get that from my mom every time we visited Colorado. One day I lectured them and sounded a lot like the lecture in this video and added that most of the military that are worth their salt and can be trusted have a southern accent. The man that helped end the Vietnam war was from Virginia. His name was John Paul Vann. I knew him.
a professor of mine (from the midwest) is acutely aware that he's raising his children in appalachia, so he's made a point to give any dumb character in a book he reads to them a new york accent
“Why don’t you have an accent?” “Because it only comes out when I’m angry.” YES! When that accents shows up, whoever I’m talking to had best hush their mouth.
I had a language arts teach as a mom, I wasn't allowed to have a southern accent ( because fo that no known what my accent is, I get all around the world and states, its funny. then I say I'm from the south. and if they ever hear it there usually are floored. By the change) But if I get made lord hold on to your boots.
I'm practicing my Southern accent currently becuase I'm tired of sounding like a Bluetahn. I've been living in fl for awhile now. The southern accent only comes out when I'm excited
I grew up in Colorado (relatively accent free) but my mom and her people are Southern. My friends think it's hilarious that I develop a Southern accent when I'm highly P.O.'d. I just tell them that's my early warning system and I'm fixin' to blow a gasket. LOL
Yes... a guy from New York city commented once on how i thought i could get my way because of my "fake" southern accent. I let him have it with my real accent..told him it only comes out strong when im mad or extremely tired. He apologized
There are different inflections of the phrase. You've done something super nice and you get a "Bless your heart". That one isn't bad and is a genuine blessing. Usually a hug is in there somewhere too.
"Did you have shoes when you were little." Yes. Of course I only wore them when I had too. Which is a problem when you've got fire ants, sand spurs, and 150F beach sand.
Brian B oh, wait a minute, I totally forgot, I had 1 pair for school, 1 pair of keds for summer, and a pair of flip flops for the beach! I actually wore out a pair of school shoes that weren't saddle shoes or penny loafers. This was before my 8th grade.
1960 or 61 ... Eagle Lake Elementary School, Eagle Lake, Florida ... shoes optional ... during the World Series the boys went to the auditorium to watch the game while the girls stayed in class ...
@@JonJaeden Well I finished 5th grade 30 years after you. The first half of the year was at Jerry Thomas Elementary in Jupiter, Fl. The second half was at the new Jupiter Farms Elementary.
AMEN!!! FREAKING PREACH!! I AM SO TIRED OF GETTING STEREOTYPED IT IS RIDICULOUS, everyone thinks I marry my cousin, and everything else in this video!! THE PEOPLE WHO AREN’T SOUTHERN NEED TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES
@@thisisdumbfor5 Yeah mine too. I was born in Birmingham but grew up in Mississippi, NOLA, Florida, Low Country (SC), Tidewater (VA) in addition to Alabama. As an adult, I lived in Maryland for five years and the last 25 in Texas. So yeah my accent is generally Southern but with a few twists here and there..
@@ravens6286 I grew up in Oregon, but my Mama was from Texas. I've been told that when I'm pissed off, I sound just like her, right down to the Texan accent!
I was in a class on workplace discrimination. The instructor asked if it was offensive to make fun of someone with an Hispanic accent, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc. The entire room replied yes, with a heated discussion on this type of discrimination. The Instructor then asked if there was anyone with a Southern accent. The entire class said my name. The Instructor then asked if it was discriminatory to make fun of my accent. You could've heard a pin drop.
@@firestorm165 it’s probably because if he’d asked the second question first, the kids might have said yes. But now that they had all said no to the first question, they’re realizing that there’s not a difference between those accents and a southern accent, and therefore neither should be made fun of.
He should have jumped up and said heck yeah is it you bunch of yanks. We don't make fun of the way yall butcher our language but yall make fun of us all the time. Yall just jealous cause y'all can't talk like we do. (Not right anyway)
I'm a nurse and had a patient that had moved from up north to south Alabama. She was talking to her son who was upset she had come south. I walked into her room and she handed me the phone saying "Will you please tell my son you have running water in Alabama!"
lol same thing when I say I live in a camper park like do you have electricity, do you have water, do you have a fridge, do you have a toilet, do you have a TV, etc etc.
My late Mother was visiting my sister in Wisconsin . She fit in by looks just fine with green eyes and blonde hair, but when she opened her mouth to speak it gave away she wasn't a local. One man asked her where she was from and she told him Alabama. The man replied, "Alabama? Is that in the United States?" She quickly retorted, "Not by choice." Bless his heart, he didn't know what he'd walked into.
There was a time where Alabama tried to leave the U.S. Didn't go so well. However, these days the South have a lot of patriotic Americans. God Bless the U.S.A.
I actually had a northerner ask me if I could tell the difference between the words "oil" and "all" when I said them, and followed up by asking me (singular) if "y'all were offended by that". lol. I told him "y'all" was plural, you know, like "youz guyz". Bless his heart.
@Isha Type I've never heard the oil thing, but I used to say egg, and people were like "why do you say it like that?" I said "that's how to say it, why is that wrong?" They told me "It's pronounced aig." (The ai like in "ain't.) My cousins live in New York and the first time I ever heard "yuz guyz" I was 27. Also my cousin asked if I had any "soda." I was like wtf? It's not soda, it's coke!
@@MamaofaWrestler lol I've not heard the "aig" thing, but I have been asked to say "Pepsi" a few times because admittedly I add a syllable (Pay-ep-si). That one's on me. lol I've also had to tell some Northerners that "barbeque" in at least some parts of the South is also a noun and not just a verb, as in "I'd like some Carolina barbeque right now."
@@sorin_markov I guess to them "barbeque" is how you cook meat on a grill, not a product you eat, and I think to their defense they will say "barbequed pork" and the "barbeque" is an adjective. I've said that in SC I say "barbeque" and everyone knows exactly what I mean. The only question in SC is whether it's a mustard sauce or a red pepper/tomato/vinegar sauce. Now that can cause some fights where I am just like Clemson vs. U of South Carolina lol
Yankees can't hear the difference between oil and all. I remember one of them politely asking a guy over and over to say them but he could never tell which was which. I'm having the same problem with Russian consonants.
I am a Texan, someone told me we all live in Trailer parks and marry our family members. What's so funny, I live in Frisco, it's median income per family is $127,133. Just because I speak with a southern accent didn't make me an idiot either. Plus, other countries rate sexiest accents and most agree that it's the southern accent. 😉
@@mockfanatik They say that until they want to buy a big house or a lot of land. Then they get down here as fast as they can because they can afford more home down here. Funny how they remember we don't all live in trailers.
My grandmother is from the north. My now late grandfather was born and raised in Arkansas. He had a PhD in chemistry, but people thought he was a dumb southerner just because of how he talked. It was crazy that people thought that. He was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but he never bragged about it. He was such a good man. He was so humble and so kind, and he loved his family dearly. He helped with the community a lot. He did so much good. Yet, if people talk to him, they wouldn’t think he was smart just because of where he came from and how he grew up talking. It’s crazy. I wish people would change their attitude about the south because it’s frustrating and wrong when people think we’re all stupid.
LMAO your grandfather sounds like a great man & he sounds like he understood something that you dont yet understand, about human nature: most people assume they are smarter than others for many, many reasons other than accents! Accents are like races, they are very noticeable and an easy to go to difference to point to, but subconsciously you are being judged on FAR more than your accent!
I’m from Arkansas and today someone asked me if they sold goldfish crackers in Arkansas and then asked me if we had Starbucks there. I’m from LR so it’s not like I’m from the country where it takes an hour to get to the nearest Walmart 😭😭
As a Southerner myself, “Bless your heart” isn’t always a put-down, but rather a way to express empathy for another’s pain or sorrows. I hate it got turned into something ugly.
@@agrofindastation I live in Alabama, and that’s how we’ve always expressed empathy to our friends and family. It seems like in the last 15 years, people have become “snarky.” My MeMaw taught me when I was a small child in the ‘70s to say something nice, or just don’t say anything at all. Social media wasn’t around, so no hiding behind a screen name, but people were willing to work their differences out leading to fewer hurt feelings. Technology has changed our social interactions…it’s often difficult to know if you’re being put-down or praised on RUclips (that’s all the social media I use) I have always lived in the South, and love it here. Thank goodness we still treat everyone like our neighbors. God Bless You and Your’s!
@@denisek292 boy howdy, if what you said isn't the truth. Anonymity is the absolute worst in bringing out the base instincts of people. Thank you, and may you and yours also have a blessed everything! 🙂
I am British with family in SC, my son married a girl from the state and now lives there. I have almost continual contact with people all across the USA through business and it came as quite a quite a shock just how the Southern States are viewed by other Americans. Just recently I was speaking to someone from NY State; when I told him I had family in SC he said "You have to get your son to move, those people are just..... The North lost the civil war." Over the years I have visited almost every state and, without a doubt, the most hospitable, kindest and most charitable people I have met were in the Southern States.
Well, we all know that the USA beat the CSA, it maybe some folks in that state didn’t get the message. ;) Speaking of which, I hope those two rural counties in Oregon get to secede and join Iowa (“Greater Iowa”) and those Virginian counties get to secede and join West Virginia. Oh, yes. And the portion(s) of California that have been trying to raise public awareness that they would like their state to separate due to vast differences in fundamental beliefs.
@@daisycutterx3300 Erm, you sure you've got all your states right? I'm from regular Iowa, and Oregon isn't anywhere near here, so how would we gain counties from them? Do you mean Illinois or something?
Was that person from New York City? The City is a whole 'nother planet. I used to live in very upstate NY near Canada ...everyone there hates the City. Come to think of it, most of the state hates the City. The people way up there definately country...good people.
I am from the South But I sure can speak fast. I have to say something and I don't have the time to tell you So I talk fast and We both go on about our day. People have told me that I would be a good fit in Brooklyn N.Y. Or California; What's funny is I have never been to those state's. I guess I come off as welcoming and friendly But I have a dark heart.
@@susieballard4957 I grew up with two brothers and a father who all thought everyone wanted to hear them talk so I had to talk fast to get anything in. The skill comes in handy in everyday life and business.
I was born in the North and moved to the South. I can confirm that idiots are everywhere. They are not a regional disease. It's just the ones down South tend to be more polite
I don't know if I'd agree with you. Most stupid people don't know they're stupid because they can't self-assess. You however have shown that ability which means you aren't stupid. Maybe you don't have the education of others, or maybe you don't know a lot of facts and details, but that isn't the same as being stupid.
In the true South, the locals ALWAYS remember where you WERE from. live there for 80 years, the locals will refer to you as, Oh yeah he is from Tuscaloosa. etc.
Exactly! First time I went to Tennessee, a guy made fun of my accent. I had to remind him that Tennessee is still part of the south. My cousin from Mississippi always made fun of the way I said school. I told her “Sorry I don’t put the extra oooo in the word like you.” lol
OMG yes. For example, Matt is a favorite of mine but his love of White BBQ sauce has me judging him and the rest of AL because.......who eats white bbq🤣 I'm totally judging
This is the best one yet! I am from Arkansas and I used to work for a multi-national company. We had a sales meeting in Dallas and reps from all over the country was there, One of the reps from New York made it a point to sit across from me at dinner. She asked some of the same questions to me that were asked in the video! The one that I remember the most is "do you let your wives wear shoes"? Since this woman was so misinformed about the south, I played along. This made for a very entertaining evening. After dinner, one of the other southern reps pulled me aside and asked me why did I do that to that poor woman. My response was that she deserved it.
Well....I.....uh... I can literally take you to the exact spot in Arkansas where your shoeless wife....living in a trailer house parked on the side of the road....stereotype actually lives. It's between Manila and Blytheville and many other areas in that state. The dump is the front yard. Can't miss it. 😀
I have been called "more country than cornbread"whatever the hell that means.Yes,I was raised in the Tennessee Mountains.I can catch a fish for dinner,pull veggies from the garden,fix the sewer line,make a little something to drink,,shoot a deer and read.I own shoes and wasn't related to my husband by blood.
That was my fault, I used to run around barefoot everywhere I went until I left for the Air Force. Hot asphalt didn't have nothing on me. I just didn't like shoes. But I wear them in Arizona... the thorns will get you through your shoes. It's like everything has thorns here.
As a Southern man, I have experienced this. I did tech support for 30 years and I have been talked down to by people who needed my technical assistance. The most frequent offenders were from Washington and Oregon. California,Arizona,and Nevada were always decent ,courteous, and respectful.
@@IHeartQuilting2 That may be true, but ,more than once these people had something derogatory to say about my Southern accent. It was if they wanted me to know my place.
I've never really had much issue from any of these states. The one that sticks out the most for me is Michigan. New York is a distant second. Namely they complain that we (Florida) don't have good pizza. That's not to say they all do it. I would say 75% love being here, and just mention pizza as a minor tradoff if they mention it at all. Ironically the most anti-south stuff I hear is from people in or near downtown Orlando. But I guess that confirms it's the dividing line between "true south" Florida and the rest of the state. Which I hate saying because I love my Cuban American bros in Miami.
That’s interesting… I sometimes have the hardest time GETTING technical support here in the South. Actually, I do better when I’m on the phone I think, but it’s not always convenient. I used to frequently have problems with tech support people who tried to tell me things like, “Oh no, your virus problem can’t be due to a vulnerability in our software.” And I’m going, “I’m a programmer’s daughter. I literally find the same virus in the same file every time in YOUR program, no matter how many times I’ve uninstalled, deleted, redownloaded, and reinstalled it! After some time, it ALWAYS shows back up in the SAME place!” Now, the virus itself may not have come from the program, but it would still always end up there. And I always knew when it had because my CPU usage would suddenly skyrocket. And they would still tell me that there wasn’t an issue with the software. 🙄 I noticed some time ago that the software in question no longer exists. The company replaced it with a completely different program. 😂 This isn’t the only time I’ve been treated this way, but it’s the only specific incident that comes to mind.
I live in Arkansas and one of my old teachers talked about going to a conference in New York. He said when he told people where he was from, multiple people looked down at his shoes and said "I thought people didn't wear shoes in Arkansas." He put on a super thick yokel accent and said "Nope, just bought my first pair today!"
Well my granny always called me her Yankee baby, she said it under her breathe to her friends..."this baby was born up north, they do things different up there, ya know. But shes a sweet baby, bless her heart, she don't know nothing y'all. Ain't been raised right" But now, I've been living in the south 20 years I reckon I've got sweet tea, biscuits and gravy in my veins now. Went to the butcher got souse meat and cracklin'. I think granny would be proud I came home❤🤣😂
True story. I am from the South. In a job I held for eighteen years, there was a fair amount of turnover in my office. There were two women who worked in my office at different times. Both were born and raised in the New York City area. Both were of Italian descent. Neither had ever met the other. On two different occasions, each woman participated in a conversation my colleagues and I were having about regional dialects. On each occasion, I mentioned that my Southern accent had become more pronounced as I got older. Each woman responded - word for word - identically: "Oh, you don't have a Southern accent. You sound intelligent."
My wife was in the military, and she’s from the mountains in Georgia. She purposely got rid of her accent because she was teaching classes and people thought that it was okay to make fun of her accent, or they said that they couldn’t understand it. In the military. She does have an accent if she’s tired, drunk, or angry though.
After that story about the Florida man saving his puppy from an alligator this past week, Florida man is finally getting some good publicity. Use it while you can! lol
Especially being a North Florida man. North Florida is nicknamed South Georgia sometimes. Better than being nicknamed north cuba or New York floated down south aka South Florida. North Floridians deserve more recognition.
Gotcha better, try being from the south AND a Virginia man. "The war between the states" and slavery gets thrown in your face.. my two favorite phrases to the northerners l live and work with here in ... ugh, NYC is "why ain't you special, or kiss my grits!" 1st one they nod they're dumb head in agreement, second one a look of confusion... I just say go Google it 😆
My extended family in New York always asked if we had plumbing, shoes, and access to dentists....in 2001...........bless their hearts. We lived in Memphis....
I'm from VA/NC and I moved to a different region of VA and they said I'm not a real southerner because I don't make my "i" sound like an "a" when I say things like: like, right, hike, etc.
I lived in Alabama for several years, that "bless your heart" was a step shy of "When did you just say", in a frosty tone. Bless your heart can be anything from "cute baby", to "go straight to the pit of the hottest place you can imagine". "What did you say "following "Bless your heart" is "let me help you meet Jesus, and you will not like his attitude today." I had a garden, so all my "bless your heart's" were sent with food.
I had a conversation with a professor about this once. She's from Pennsylvania, I'm originally from Washington, (the state, not the city.) She mentioned to me after class as we were chatting how she'd come to learn what it means, basically Southern sarcasm when anything but is meant. Even after living here for 16 years, I still identify partly as a west-coaster. It's like Southern isn't just where you live ... it's a way of life you kind of have to be raised in. I'd feel like I was participating in cultural appropriation if I ever called myself Southern.
@@HeatherLynseyMusic There are exceptions, but when I heard it being used, it was a church worthy condemnation, and few disagreed, lol. I like people who undestand southernisms.
“Like we don’t judge people on where they come from” unless you’re a yank 😂 my dad just moved to Georgia and he says he gets poked fun at all the time for being from Indiana 😂😂
Tell him if it's fun spirited they expect him to trade wit with em. Tho if there is a hateful tone not to do that cause that person's just looking for a scrap and it's best just not to bother with em cause it's a waste of breathe. Edit: alot like how trade workers throw insults between friends, gotta be quick with them comebacks lol
Tell you what South of Indianapolis we are more South here then we are Midwest. I aint even kidding i get made fun of for my southern accent when i go anywhere in the state north of Indy. Im from South Eastern Indiana by the way.
@@karstensebastian7598 Exactly. I'm from New Albany, the southernmost part of Indiana, and we get curious looks from Central and Northern Indiana residents four our (to their ears) Southern accents.
This was me while I was in the Navy. I went to college at night to earn my B.A. (which I completed with a 4.0 GPA.) I had one Dept. Head, a flight surgeon, from Ohio. He was particularly offensive, saying some of the same things about Southerners you hear in this video. It would be funnier, but this is real life for some of us in some occupations (like the military.) We have to work with people who refuse to let go of their uninformed biases, and they sit there and call us bigots with a straight face.
My mother is southern, I respect the idea that it’s annoying when people think southerners are less than just because they have such idiotic assumptions.
Love it! When I feel people looking down on me for my accent I really lay it on thick. Lol can’t help myself. Let them think we are a bunch of DA’s😊 maybe they will quit moving here!
Nah we do all the way,but our judgment is also true or just exaggerated reality: For instance Yankees are generally rude and disruptive Californians are annoying Midwesterners are like us but less so And last but not least Mexicans are fucking fun to hang out with All of these are more often then not true while yankees think we are retarded,Californians think we are racist and Midwesterners think we are -them but cooler- wild. In my opinion our immediate judgment is fair and not really unrealistic especially since we dont hold on to it after day one of meeting you if its wrong
@@jaushuagrahamthefloridaman1124 "especially since we dont hold on to it after day one of meeting you if its wrong" bless your heart. I moved to Mississippi when I was 8, I am in my 40s now and I'm still "that damn yankee" to the folks I went to school with who know where I come from (everyone else I meet thinks I'm Southern since I talk, walk, and think like one)
@@mwater_moon2865 must have acted like a yankee then lol. But seriously Its also not NECESSARILY an insult, we had a kid from NYC that we all called "Tyler yankee" dude was fuckin awesome,played football and people would have signs that said stuff like "Go yankee Go" and when Tyler ended up having to move senior year pretty much everybody was sad as hell about it. TO THIS DAY he is Tyler the yankee though Obviously you probably aren't like that but it could still be endearing...... Or you just live with some fud-y assholes
I am really sorry... but May I ask you why this is so different from their stereotypes? I want to feel the way you feel about this line.. plz help me🙏 (btw I am from non US... and to be fair... I am lack of American Culture...)
@@minjeonggim7055 It’s not different from the other stereotypes, it’s a wildly creative combination of stereotypes and that’s why I found it hilarious. The line is, “We don’t all sound like Foghorn Leghorn and Paula Dean had a baby in a parking lot on a Talladega weekend.” This one line brings together four separate cultural references associated with the Southeastern US. 1) Foghorn Leghorn is an old Looney Tunes character exaggerating “Southern” mannerisms 2) Paula Dean is a contemporary TV cook personality who leverages stereotypes about Southern cooking, speech patterns, and mannerisms as the foundation of her brand 3) Giving birth in a parking lot which is associated with poverty and poor planning and 4) Talladega weekend references a big NASCAR event and NASCAR is most popular in the SE USA I hope this helps!
Aha, yes, when I moved from Alabama to Seattle as a 10th grader back in the 80’s I was immediately put into a Biology class I had already taken…same book and all…and the remedial English class. Despite my protests that I had already taken that Bio class and I was supposed to be in honors English. Well, I wrote a paper in the English class and the teacher, bless her heart, she took me to the principal and said, “she is in the wrong class”. Yes, I’m actually smart, gotta love what our accent does for us 😂😂😂. I eventually got a “we’re sorry about that” on the Bio class AFTER I had taken the whole class again 🙄
When I lived in Tennessee, people acted like this when they found out someone was from Mississippi. My friend from Jackson, MS was asked repeatedly, in all seriousness, if her family wore shoes and if their home had a dirt floor. I found it ironic because I grew up in a poor part of the Midwest where some people really did have dirt floors, while my friend's father was richer than Croesus.
Well bless your heart y’all. 💜😂. This is absolutely the truth. I get calls every year from family that lives in California because she misses home and misses the accent. I’m from Ky 💜
Yup! When I came from India, I was constantly given praise for knowing English. I was asked about cast system and cows, dowery, tigers, cobras, red dot, curries and the list goes on. I was also asked if girls were allowed to go to schools and if I would get a choice to find my own husband.
I was one of those bigots for a long, long time. It took me visiting Southern states for work many times to finally fall in love with the place and realize how wrong I'd been. Great video.
People from new england told me they thought we all lived on plantations,I said "no you people burned them all down".Eleven southern dialects so be careful when you try to talk like us.Bless your hearts.
I'm not sure why the rest of the US views the south as these dumbass people or plantation owners or racists cause none of that is true. I went down to Huntsville for a trip and I saw none of that. The people there are smart as a whip and there is a lot of diversity. It's really annoying that the place I'm from still thinks that the south is like this
I want to share this.. Born in raised in South Mississippi. Moved to GA when I was 18. Got picked on cause I sounded so country. After 2 years I went home to Petal, Ms to visit my folks. Got picked than by my own family for a different accent I suppose to had.. And when I replied to a comment I said "bless your heart" man my cousin wanted to fight me.. she said I called her stupid.. lol.. I haven't been home in 11years.. when I talk with my moms she tells me my accent is so strong.. um I guess each area has different types of accents.
I moved to Soso a few years ago , so I guess we are neighbors. Born in Mobile, but lived in North FL for over 30 years. It is definitely a culture sock, but people here are by far the kindest people I have met. God bless the great state of Mississippi!

@@rickwillingham1421 Nah! More like a delusion! do you stand in a room full of people and tell yourself jokes, then laugh like a madman to yourself? Because this is very similar! if a person that you insult doesnt know they should be offended then you failed!

I travel a lot for work, as do many in my chosen career. When I tell people I am from Alabama they always have to repeat "Alabama" in a silly mock southern accent. I hate that.
I’m from Long Island. If I had a dollar for every time someone who’s not from the NYC area said to me “oh you’re from LAWN GUYLAND??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂” when I tell them where I’m from, I’d never have to work again.

As someone from Texas, and currently living in Arkansas, I have never been mocked because of my accent. I was in the navy for 5 years, and traveled all across the us installing software for my previous employer. I’m not saying this didn’t happen to you, but I think this happens less than you’d think. Also, this is a sketch about non-southerners making fun of southern stereotypes, played by southerners, but they are making fun of the non-southerners ignorance… what the heck? It doesn’t make sense. I get that it’s a sketch, but I think if there is a hidden point in there I feel they are being very hypocritical trying to make it 😂
@@ATC8705 For some reason people just like to say "Alabama" with a mock southern accent. It happens all the time. Try it next time you are elsewhere, tell the person asking that you are from Alabama. You'll see.

solid! As a northerner who ended up spending much time in the South (army, school) I got to learn and appreciate the place, resenting the smug, ignorant types like those guys in the skit. I now believe that keeping y'all in the Union was worth the fuss. We are stronger together.
I’m from Texas and when I was living in Tennessee, I was working in a call center, talking to people from all over the world on a regular basis, and lost most of my accent. I called my dad on his birthday while I was sitting with a friend of mine from work and he looked at me and told me, “wow! You’re from Texas!” I told him he already knew that. He said, “yeah, but this time I HEARD it!” Lmao
when my African born guidance counselor found out after two years of working with me that I was from Mississippi, he suddenly acted like he didn't know me. this was in Oklahoma of all places.
This is 100%, especially for folks in CA. I grew up in Ohio, but that means you vacation in the South all the time. My family now lives in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina. People in CA are always amazed when we go back to visit family and I've actually been asked if I think that is safe or not. For the record, I love the South and Southern hospitality. Go out and explore your country, it is an amazing, diverse and loving place.

"Bless your heart." The kindest, most deadly words ever uttered.
You see, it’s funny for me having been living for the past 3 years in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. You hear “Bless your heart!”, “Bless your cotton socks” etc as words of appreciation or having done something kind, a real good deed. When you describe a patient who particularly miserable etc we say “It’s a sin!” As a sign of feeling truly sorry for that’s person’s suffering and misfortune. Looks like it’s complete opposite in the South of US…..
Friend from North Carolina now living in Wisconsin, fed up with school teacher.... Do you think Southerners are stupid??!!!!
That and "Oh Honey" in that disappointed tone.
Yep
Right up there with "Y'all come back now y' hear."
When I tell people that I'm from Africa, they assume I live in a mudhut and ride to school on my pet zebra on dirt footpaths while dodging lions.
Yup...very true...
As I would assume most Southerners would ask, "What part. What's your favorite food. Can you teach it to me. Tell me about your family. Want some biscuits and gravy..." Least that's where most of my family would of went. I've met quite a few people from Africa, and my Uncle has visited.
When I tell people I did Peace Corp in Liberia, people just stare at me blankly until I explain.
You don’t? And I suppose Australians don’t keep kangaroos in their backyards? Pshh, y’all can’t fool us. We know all your secrets.
That must have been exciting when you were younger, a pet zebra would be fun. What country did you move to to get the internet?
I love how her accent legit got thicker the angrier she got. This is totally me when angry or tired. I've lived in the midwest for over 30 years, but lived in the quasi-south for the first 5 years of my life, not to mention how much time we spent visiting back home. It was endlessly entertaining for my friends.
Midwest? Oh you poor thing...
Me too. My Arkansas accent gets THICK when I’m mad or tired.
This video hit home. I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I went to school in Massachusetts and California. Sometimes, it got on my last nerve.
First, they would always ask why I didn't have an accent. Then, I got the cousins marrying thing. Then, it was the condescending "I am so impressed that you are in school here."
And, finally, the big one (or two):
Either, it was "you're not angry because I'm a Yankee, are you?" To which I respond "not everybody in the South is still fighting the Civil War!"
Or, my personal favorite, "You must be so happy to get away from all that racist!" There is ALWAYS something that they just did that proves how stupid that question was. My favorite is when I get to ask them why they crossed the street when three black teenagers walked towards them.
I'm the same way but I've lived in the south save for 8 years in Hawaii when I was a child. People know that I'm angry when my accent picks up. Theu know not to mess with me. 😅
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. However, I did spend a couple years in high school at a boarding school in Pennsylvania in the mid-80's...over Reagan's re-election campaign. Summer of '85 we had one girl arrive from another boarding school in South Carolina. She had the cutest accent I had heard, so I was thrown for a loop when she told us she was from Indiana.
Then again, that fall, finishing high school back home, I can still recall my first day of Home Ec. class. We all introduced ourselves - there were really only 5 of us in an elective class - and I happened to mention that I had spent the last couple of years down in the US. As I was heading back to my seat, our teacher said "Yes, I can hear a bit of your American accent.", and I was thinking "Huh? *WHAT* accent?"
It’s like when people assume everyone from Alaska lives in igloos and mushes dogs 🤦🏼♀️

@@kthwkr Then you know the mess up there recently with the "no Uber" then "yes Uber but with conditions" to "no Uber but yes LYFT but also no to family pickup " to you have to rent a car if you want to leave by car from the airport" to whatever rule they have now. I hate Atlanta traffic and it always seems like those rules effect how bad it gets. It is never good .... ok it was during lock down and the majority of people didn't drive but before and after traffic around the airport is only beat by the traffic for the exit to I-20 on I-285. So if you have to go south or east or south east when you get out of the airport you are fucked if you are in the beginning of the day or end of the day or at 2am to 4am.
Atlanta traffic sucks even compared to the layovers you get in the Atlanta airport. Thankfully it is also the last airplane stop for me to which mean car traffic is a nightmare.
I have not flown for like 50 years, but once I had to take a Greyhound bus, and of course I had a layover in Atlanta! They say when you die, as you go to heaven you will have a layover in Atlanta!

"Why don't you have an accent?" She literally does though 😂 Only someone else from the South would think she doesn't have a Southern accent here

She has an accent, she just likely saw a speech therapist to mellow it out because southerners are discriminated against in job markets outside of the south.

That is how southerners say eff you too people. Hit them with the facks real nice like. and a bless your heart.

I'll be honest South Texas has nothing with the South we're so close to Mexico we've been assimilated into Mexico culture
So true. I get tired of actors or anyone that portrays a “stupid” or “ignorant” person, they’ll always do a southern accent.
YESSSS so many "actors" pride themselves on being able to do a "southern accent" and its NEVER right. They never heard the melody we tend to have in our word infliction

@@Rikkilover17 . . . I'm assuming that that was a spelling error, but it's actually pretty hilarious.
when I moved away from Alabama as a teenager, I quickly learned a new accent because I was getting treated like I was dumb. I felt that for real.
hope that's not happening to you anymore and you can use your accent with pride again
Yeah, I speak standard English now but I had to learn to do it. If I'm talking to somebody who was raised in some place like old Nevada, it comes back.
I moved to the south from California 30 yrs ago in my 40s. I love the Southern accent, the manners, everything. But TV and social media have done so much to strip away regional differences, and it's a loss. I'm fiercely defensive of the south. My mother was born and raised in Alabama, left in her 20s, and dealt with a lot of ignorance about where she was from. Somehow white southerners are still acceptable targets for discrimination. Not ok.
The stereotype can be crippling. My friend worked really hard to erase his Alabama accent when he was admitted to a medical school in NJ. Granted Alabama has a slew of issues but I thought his bama accent was cute

Most of my experience with visiting the South was visiting an uncle who lives in Virginia (he was an executive with a government contractor) and taking a vacation in Florida (mostly in the Keys; wife had friends who lived in Marathon). Oh, and a layover in DFW on the flight home.
I went to Orlando for spring break last year, that’s about it.
Like my mamma always said, “it don’t matter if you’re traveling to heaven or hell, you WILL have a layover in Atlanta”. Delta, the next best thing to getting there.
@@owenspivey4354 we always said, "even if you're goin' to hell, you gotta go thru Hartsfield."
Delta probably has a secret policy that requires all passengers get a taste of being in the South by having to have layovers, especially in Atlanta. Hard to think we all live in the sticks when you see how big Atlanta is.

It was crazy that people thought that. He was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but he never bragged about it. He was such a good man. He was so humble and so kind, and he loved his family dearly. He helped with the community a lot. He did so much good. Yet, if people talk to him, they wouldn’t think he was smart just because of where he came from and how he grew up talking. It’s crazy. I wish people would change their attitude about the south because it’s frustrating and wrong when people think we’re all stupid.
LMAO your grandfather sounds like a great man & he sounds like he understood something that you dont yet understand, about human nature: most people assume they are smarter than others for many, many reasons other than accents! Accents are like races, they are very noticeable and an easy to go to difference to point to, but subconsciously you are being judged on FAR more than your accent!
Is it bad I read that in my old southern accent?

As a Southerner myself, “Bless your heart” isn’t always a put-down, but rather a way to express empathy for another’s pain or sorrows. I hate it got turned into something ugly.
I think it's all up to context. Say it with a genuine smile after something that requires empathy, it for sure is still good.
@@agrofindastation I live in Alabama, and that’s how we’ve always expressed empathy to our friends and family. It seems like in the last 15 years, people have become “snarky.” My MeMaw taught me when I was a small child in the ‘70s to say something nice, or just don’t say anything at all. Social media wasn’t around, so no hiding behind a screen name, but people were willing to work their differences out leading to fewer hurt feelings. Technology has changed our social interactions…it’s often difficult to know if you’re being put-down or praised on RUclips (that’s all the social media I use) I have always lived in the South, and love it here.

I am British with family in SC, my son married a girl from the state and now lives there. I have almost continual contact with people all across the USA through business and it came as quite a quite a shock just how the Southern States are viewed by other Americans.
Just recently I was speaking to someone from NY State; when I told him I had family in SC he said "You have to get your son to move, those people are just..... The North lost the civil war."
Over the years I have visited almost every state and, without a doubt, the most hospitable, kindest and most charitable people I have met were in the Southern States.

I don't know if I'd agree with you. Most stupid people don't know they're stupid because they can't self-assess. You however have shown that ability which means you aren't stupid. Maybe you don't have the education of others, or maybe you don't know a lot of facts and details, but that isn't the same as being stupid.

Exactly! First time I went to Tennessee, a guy made fun of my accent. I had to remind him that Tennessee is still part of the south. My cousin from Mississippi always made fun of the way I said school. I told her “Sorry I don’t put the extra oooo in the word like you.” lol
Oh we most certainly do! 😅
OMG yes. For example, Matt is a favorite of mine but his love of White BBQ sauce has me judging him and the rest of AL because.......who eats white bbq🤣 I'm totally judging

This is the best one yet! I am from Arkansas and I used to work for a multi-national company. We had a sales meeting in Dallas and reps from all over the country was there, One of the reps from New York made it a point to sit across from me at dinner. She asked some of the same questions to me that were asked in the video! The one that I remember the most is "do you let your wives wear shoes"? Since this woman was so misinformed about the south, I played along. This made for a very entertaining evening. After dinner, one of the other southern reps pulled me aside and asked me why did I do that to that poor woman. My response was that she deserved it.
Well....I.....uh...

As a Southern man, I have experienced this. I did tech support for 30 years and I have been talked down to by people who needed my technical assistance. The most frequent offenders were from Washington and Oregon. California,Arizona,and Nevada were always decent ,courteous, and respectful.
Well that sucks. But realize that most of the racism my cousin has experienced were also in Washington and Oregon. So, maybe just rude people.
@@IHeartQuilting2 That may be true, but ,more than once these people had something derogatory to say about my Southern accent. It was if they wanted me to know my place.
I've never really had much issue from any of these states. The one that sticks out the most for me is Michigan. New York is a distant second. Namely they complain that we (Florida) don't have good pizza. That's not to say they all do it. I would say 75% love being here, and just mention pizza as a minor tradoff if they mention it at all.
Ironically the most anti-south stuff I hear is from people in or near downtown Orlando. But I guess that confirms it's the dividing line between "true south" Florida and the rest of the state. Which I hate saying because I love my Cuban American bros in Miami.
That’s interesting… I sometimes have the hardest time GETTING technical support here in the South. Actually, I do better when I’m on the phone I think, but it’s not always convenient. I used to frequently have problems with tech support people who tried to tell me things like, “Oh no, your virus problem can’t be due to a vulnerability in our software.” And I’m going, “I’m a programmer’s daughter. I literally find the same virus in the same file every time in YOUR program, no matter how many times I’ve uninstalled, deleted, redownloaded, and reinstalled it! After some time, it ALWAYS shows back up in the SAME place!” Now, the virus itself may not have come from the program, but it would still always end up there. And I always knew when it had because my CPU usage would suddenly skyrocket. And they would still tell me that there wasn’t an issue with the software. 🙄
I noticed some time ago that the software in question no longer exists. The company replaced it with a completely different program. 😂
This isn’t the only time I’ve been treated this way, but it’s the only specific incident that comes to mind.
I lived in the deep South and the PNW and the PNW has the most low- down, most passive aggressive people in the US IMO. Lived there 12 years
I live in Arkansas and one of my old teachers talked about going to a conference in New York. He said when he told people where he was from, multiple people looked down at his shoes and said "I thought people didn't wear shoes in Arkansas." He put on a super thick yokel accent and said "Nope, just bought my first pair today!"
Well my granny always called me her Yankee baby, she said it under her breathe to her friends..."this baby was born up north, they do things different up there, ya know. But shes a sweet baby, bless her heart, she don't know nothing y'all.

I think granny would be proud I came home❤🤣😂
True story.
I am from the South. In a job I held for eighteen years, there was a fair amount of turnover in my office. There were two women who worked in my office at different times. Both were born and raised in the New York City area. Both were of Italian descent. Neither had ever met the other. On two different occasions, each woman participated in a conversation my colleagues and I were having about regional dialects. On each occasion, I mentioned that my Southern accent had become more pronounced as I got older. Each woman responded - word for word - identically: "Oh, you don't have a Southern accent. You sound intelligent."
Ugh
They said more than they intended
As an Italian American, I apologize
They sound pretty dumb. LOL
Oof 🤦🏻♀️
Hey y’all, stop tell Yankees we’re smart and normal. Too many are down here already
LOL. Facts!
Yes ssshhh. Don't tell them northeners.....
The only they came here for is the best food in America
Amen 🙄
We Texans would put it another way, "Don't California my Texas," which admittedly has already happened in Austin.
My wife was in the military, and she’s from the mountains in Georgia. She purposely got rid of her accent because she was teaching classes and people thought that it was okay to make fun of her accent, or they said that they couldn’t understand it. In the military. She does have an accent if she’s tired, drunk, or angry though.

I lived in Alabama for several years, that "bless your heart" was a step shy of "When did you just say", in a frosty tone. Bless your heart can be anything from "cute baby", to "go straight to the pit of the hottest place you can imagine". "What did you say "following "Bless your heart" is "let me help you meet Jesus, and you will not like his attitude today." I had a garden, so all my "bless your heart's" were sent with food.
I don’t think “bless your heart” = cute baby. I think it’s equivalent to saying, “how precious” about an ugly baby.
I had a conversation with a professor about this once. She's from Pennsylvania, I'm originally from Washington, (the state, not the city.) She mentioned to me after class as we were chatting how she'd come to learn what it means, basically Southern sarcasm when anything but is meant. Even after living here for 16 years, I still identify partly as a west-coaster. It's like Southern isn't just where you live ... it's a way of life you kind of have to be raised in.

We have to work with people who refuse to let go of their uninformed biases, and they sit there and call us bigots with a straight face.

I was in the navy for 5 years, and traveled all across the us installing software for my previous employer. I’m not saying this didn’t happen to you, but I think this happens less than you’d think.
Also, this is a sketch about non-southerners making fun of southern stereotypes, played by southerners, but they are making fun of the non-southerners ignorance… what the heck? It doesn’t make sense. I get that it’s a sketch, but I think if there is a hidden point in there I feel they are being very hypocritical trying to make it 😂
@@ATC8705 For some reason people just like to say "Alabama" with a mock southern accent. It happens all the time. Try it next time you are elsewhere, tell the person asking that you are from Alabama. You'll see.
@@ATC8705 Nobody would expect anyone from Arkansas to make fun of a Texas accent. You`re making very little sense. Yes, it does happen, and it happens a lot, thanks to the Hebrew bigots in Hollywood.
solid! As a northerner who ended up spending much time in the South (army, school) I got to learn and appreciate the place, resenting the smug, ignorant types like those guys in the skit. I now believe that keeping y'all in the Union was worth the fuss. We are stronger together.
The accent coming out when: I'm mad, I'm drunk, I'm relaxed or I'm talking to another Southerner. Oh! Or, when I'm flirting. Tee hee 🤭
I’m from Texas and when I was living in Tennessee, I was working in a call center, talking to people from all over the world on a regular basis, and lost most of my accent. I called my dad on his birthday while I was sitting with a friend of mine from work and he looked at me and told me, “wow! You’re from Texas!” I told him he already knew that. He said, “yeah, but this time I HEARD it!” Lmao
@@aprilwycherley Thats AWESOME! 🤣
Talia going Julia Sugarbaker is not something I knew I needed, but which I am very glad to have.
when my African born guidance counselor found out after two years of working with me that I was from Mississippi, he suddenly acted like he didn't know me. this was in Oklahoma of all places.
This is 100%, especially for folks in CA. I grew up in Ohio, but that means you vacation in the South all the time. My family now lives in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina. People in CA are always amazed when we go back to visit family and I've actually been asked if I think that is safe or not. For the record, I love the South and Southern hospitality. Go out and explore your country, it is an amazing, diverse and loving place.
Pretty sure we judge northerners and Californians, because of where they’re from
I've met plenty of both. It ain't really judgin' if it's true. How they are is just a Fact that we've all come to accept. =)
Oh there are "Southerners" all over and many of them have never been to the South.
No. We judge them because they just keep moving south and trying to change things.
@@ritaroberts6787 Fleeing crappy policies from their home states and voting to implement the same stupid policies that drove them out in the first place where they move to. We get a lot of that garbage here in Texas. I'm lookin' *directly* at you, californians. =)
@@ritaroberts6787 like what? Non-political. Just curious 😊
