[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.  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".  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!

So weird but I do want to share that I have an aunt-in-law who was raised in Falls Church and you'd think she was born at Tara. It's so effin' fake and I"m real Southerner (New Orleans) and it sort of pisses me off but she's insane so I let it go.[/quote]
