[at-l] Southern English

39.  I'll take Shakespeare for 1000, Alex.
ACTUALLY They'd take Shakespeare for the Daily Double.  They make sum of the
finest fishin' equipment in the world.

19.  Trim the fat off that steak.
I RESENT THAT one.  Everyone knows one of the basic 4 food groups in the
South is fat.  The best country steak comes from the ones with lots of fat
left on.  Why I always asked for Daddy's steak fat after he started trimming
it off because of his heart attack.  Of course after awhile it got smaller
and smaller even though we kept getting the steaks from the same place.

18.  Cappuccino tastes better than espresso.
IF IT AIN'T boiled and got Chicory in it, it ain't coffee.

14.  Unsweetened tea tastes better.
IF IT AIN'T SWEET enough for pancake syrup, it ain't Southern style tea.

13.  Would you like your salmon poached or broiled?
IF IT AIN'T Battered and fried, it ain't fish.

10.  Little Debbie snack cakes have too many fat grams.
THE BASIC 4 FOOD groups in the South are fat, sugar, ground corn, and pork.
I think most Little Debbies hit all four.

04.  Be sure to bring my salad dressing on the side.
ACTUALLY MOST SOUTHERNERS like pepper sauce on their Collards, Turnip
greens, or Poke salad.  Although bacon drippin's and vinegahr go good.
