Where Are You From?, Pass the beer mug

New member from Paris, France.

Greetings y'all from Sunny Warm Coastal Georgia. Home of the world famous wild sweet Georgia shrimp. Our blue crabs are so good that we have to share our blue crabs and ship them to Maryland so Marylanders can have blue crabs to eat. How about...
y'all
you just ain't whistling Dixie

montreal west, quebec (at the moment)...land of seperatists and poutine....they are both disgusting!!

I live in the countryside near Greeneville, Tennesse in the northeast part of the state but I consider myself to be from Memphis, Tennessee where I grew up (I got here by way of western Arkansas, the US Virgin Islands, Montreal, Quebec, Portland, Oregon, and Logan and Provo, Utah. I started out in Louisville, Kentucky and got to Memphis by way of Philly and Levittown, Pennsylvania and the DC area.)
Basically though I consider myself a Southerner and we have lots of sayings.
I haven't lived where I am now long enough to know many of the local ones but here are a few I've run across through the years.

I don't care to--meaning I don't mind--Ozark and Applachian
general southern:
Give me sugar--give me a kiss--
'Coke' for all soft drinks. I think this one is dying out.
Sweet milk--not butter milk but regular milk
Sweet or unsweet tea--iced of course.
fixin to--about to do something
and fixins--with all the associated side dishes--'We're having fried chicken with all the fixins.'

Hello! New member from Ohio. Pretty cool website. Ancestors from Clan Corbett (somewhere in the family tree--also associated with Clan Dunbar and Clan Ross).

Sayings from Ohio . . . Pop (referring to Coca Cola, 7-Up, etc.) and "Where are yins from?" --translation: "Where are you all from?"

Wha's like us. Damn few and they're a' deid!

Welcome from another Buckeye! We live on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona, but I was born and raised in Middletown.

Hope you enjoy the site and all you find here. Drop in on the Introductions thread and say hello to everyone. There will be a lot of folks to greet you.

Welcome aboard and have a great day!

I was born in and grew up in Cheshire, England until the age of 11 when I moved to Sheffield in Yorkshire, England. From there I joined the RAF and eventually settled in St Andrews in Scotland, I've lived in the area now for the past 20 years.

From Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland

Upper Pennisula of Michigan. Right on the Wisconsin-Michigan border we are the home of the Stormy Kromer, the World's Tallest Indian, and the most depressing place to live in the U.S.-Ironwood. Somebody get me out of here!!!

I am from Kalamazoo, Michigan....a medium sized city halfway between Detroit & Chicago. "Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo".
Born & raised in Cadillac-a small tourist town in northern lower Michigan,an hour south of the gorgeous Traverse City.
A few local sayings:
1)"If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes." A prime example-just went from 72 yesterday to 27 today...with snow! YUCK!
2)Go "Meeeechigan". Or, if you are a MSU Spartan fan as I am, it is "Go Green".
3)We say "pop" for all kinds of soft drinks-and some people prefer to say "Coke".

My Irish heritage comes from both sides of my family-my Mom's great great grandfather came over from Ireland during the potato famine on a ship that came over from Ireland (via England)-it went thru the St Lawrence Seaway and docked in Albany,NY, and he traveled from there to Pinckney, MI where he & his family settled down. My Dad's side lived in Ontario-Hamilton area-and made their way to the Lansing area.

Roberto, the northern lights are quite phenomenal, aren't they? I liked the way you put it "dancing" in the sky. How appropo!

Stay warm!
