Picking on NC huh?

Good! One job I had to remind people that "I'm not from here. You can expect more from me."

I was a concrete finisher when we first moved down here and one of the guys would ask me to 'tote' something for him. (Bring it here or carry it to him).

BUT! If he needed a ride somewhere in a car he would ask you to 'carry' him. If I remember right he referred to the glove box and the trunk with the same term; 'boot'.

And I still meet people who call the biggest/nearest city 'Fedval'. (Fayetteville).

And nothing tops when we all went to a restaurant many years ago and the waitress asked in a deep drawl, "Where y'all from? Y'all talk funny".

WE talk funny princess? Heard yourself lately?
