I try having small talk (Southern thing) but no, not a simple 'hello' or 'fuck you' even. Then comes the Southies, they are bunch of pussy whipped city slickers. Now, I'm not saying they can't fight, but there is a difference between growing up dealing with Cattle and working from 5am to Dusk and growing up on the streets I give ya that, but Irish men hit like pussies. :P (Note this is all in good fun); But as a Southerner I must warn others that people in New England are some touchy mofos when it comes to the South, they ALL assume (for the most part) that everyone from the South is a Redneck..which is fine, but after awhile of getting a Redneck gets old as fuck. What im saying is, once I done with school. Im out!

I have heard these ridiculous, unbelievable, cartoon-like accents many times in real life. And I have seen a disheveled Sox fan walking around in team t shirt after his team lost, brandishing a baseball bat, looking for an excuse.
