If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic 4 men in a 4-wheel drive pickup on the way home from hunt'n will be along shortly to help. Don't try to help them just stay outr of the way. This is what they live for.
Don't be suprised to find movie rentals and live bait in the same store.... don't buy food at this store.
remember y'all is singular and all y'all is plural, and all y'all's is plural possessive
Get used to hearing "You ain't from around here, are ya?"
you may here a southerner say "Ought!" to a dog or a child, this is short for " Y'all ought not do that!" and is equivalent to saying "No!"
Don't worry if you can't understand the people around you , they don't understand what you are saing either.
Be advised that " He needed kill'n." is a valid defense here.
Ifd you here a good ol boy yell "Hey, y'all watch this," stand back, this will likely be the last words he speaks and innocent by standers have been known to "git killed" as well.
If there is even the slightest chance of snow in the forecast your presence is required at the local grocery store. Even if you don'tr need anything you just have to go!
do not be surprised to find a 10 yr old that owns his own shot gun, but don't worry they are proficient marksmen, and thier Mammas taught them how to aim.
and remember if you happen to settle in the south and have children don't think we will accept them as southerners, after all if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits.
Hope this helps out when you visit to Tennessee and remember wearing Orange will always break the social tensions and never bad mouth Elvis...ever.
