I can assure that everyone in the South does not have the same accent.

The NY, NJ and Boston accents that you are referring to are a lower class
trademark whereas everyone in the south has essentially the same accent.

I find the accents from Boston, NJ, the Bronx, etc. to be just as obnoxius
as the Southern drawl. On the other hand, it was a delight to listen to

Well I give you this- the accent adds a hotness factor to some of the

Oh come on bubba, it's only about 95F today though the humidity is up
there
since we had a bit of rain yesterday evening. It was about 100F in both
Philly and DC earlier in the week, so we are sort of a wash in the
temperature department this summer. I think it was actually hotter up
there
than it was here for those few days until it cooled down a bit. I just
rode
my bike down the road to get a paper, why, it is positively balmy out!

tattoo and one tooth at a time, y'all!)
PS -- about that accent thing -- that is a way to throw Yankees off, just
to make them think the speaker is stupid. It usually works pretty well.

Well if that's your attitude then I can elaborate. Toothless, uneducated
rednecks with an accent that causes their perceived IQ to drop by 20
points
is not my style. Then you have the 110 degree weather with 1000% humidity!
I
don't think so bro.

I have noticed that the further north (at least to the northeast) you go,
the more nannyish the states become, and the more expensive (gas in
particular), the more people acting in more unpleasant ways, traffic is
denser and slower and heavier. I lived in the Boston area for 20+ years,
moved to Texas then to SC, I could never go back up north.

Tell us more.
I am gaining more of a sense of this but have no real understanding of
what is meant.
For years I have thought I am really a suthren.
