I'll just say this. If you're ever in Mississippi (pronounced mi-SSIP-pee), don't say "yous guys". They're gonna be able to tell you're not from around there anyway. But it's best not get them started with Yankee jokes.
So noted.

Or Alabama. It's a dead giveaway. When I first moved here it was so odd for me to hear "you guys," instead of ya'll.

In Basic / Infantry school we had a young kid (youngest in the platoon) who was from right there in Columbus GA. Drill Sergeant found out about half way through and started saying the kid was actually from AL. We all got a chuckle. But it was seriously insulting to that young man. He turned bright red, and it took everything he had to control himself. He did smart off a little, and got smoked for it. I had no idea how serious that business was.
