[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH insists that we raise our children to speak like they are southern.  I love the south and the southern culture, but we live in Northern Virginia.  People don't speak that way here.  My DH is just a poser.  Whenever I am telling a story or visiting with other moms, my DH will interrupt me to correct a term I use if it isn't southern. [b] For example, if I refer to a BBQ, he steps in and says "cook out".  If I use the word "mom", he steps in and says "momma"[/b].  All the flipping time.  I should add he was raised is rural Pennsylvania and no one else in his family uses southern terms.  I have progressed from giving him the evil eye to telling him how unattractive his behavior is and that enough is enough.  Bless his heart!

Rant over.[/quote]

Maybe low country SC isn't southern to him, but mom was mom and the term cookout was never used. BBQ was a synonym for pulled pork, but you could use it interchangeable with inviting people over to throw meat on the grill [/quote]

This.   I’m from Memphis and have never used cookout. BBQ is the standard for all things grill related, from the food to having people over.[/quote]
