Synopsis: This tongue-in-cheek dictionary of Southern words and phrases offers a hilarious spoof of the Southern accent.
This book is dedicated to all Yankees* in the hope that it will teach them how to talk right.
*Yankee: Anyone who is not from Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and possibly Oklahoma and West-by-God-Virginia. A Yankee may become an honorary Southerner, but a Southerner cannot become a Yankee, assuming any Southerner wanted to.
