Well did y'all miss me? Well did ya?

It's been hours since I started trouble in the lounge.

4. Not recently

But I have spent a fair bit of time in Georgia. They constantly mocked my Canadianness. I had to try and blend in. Tossing in the occassional y'all and drinking my tea half sweet seemed to do the trick.

10. Half sweet! BAH!

You must drink it straight up like a good Canadian!

The more bitter the better!

12. We're talking iced tea here

Which oddly enough we don't generally get the real stuff up here, even though we drink more of the hot stuff.

My choices were sweet or unsweet. Sweet was too sweet. Unsweet to blah. Half sweet was perfect. I may be high maintenance.

2. would somebody please tell this New Englander . . .

if Southerners use "you alone" as much as they use "y'all" for "you all?" Or maybe somebody should tell the Southerners that you is both singular and plural!

This is the DU member still known as a DU insomniac. :hi:

6. I've been to New England, but I am not one of them

I'm Canadian. You can tell that by my colourful spelling neighbour.

16. Oh, we know. I've been told this more than once, actually.

But it is frustrating that there is no second person plural, especially when you are alternating between addressing a single individual and a collective.

Also, we like to irritate New Englanders. There indeed is a worthy justification. :D

20. Only one of us is allowed to go at a time?

I may have been away, but the only time I spent in the bathroom was to brush my teeth.
