Dearest Mimus:
Up here we say, "y'all". We also have "y'all" painted on the Florence
water tower, visible from I-75/I-71 it reads:

Florence
Y'all

....granted, it /originally/ said "mall" but bein's as there was no
mall there at that time, the city got sued or threatened for false
advertising or summat and changed the lettering and even tho' there's
been a mall there now for a couple-three decades, the Y'all remains

....and I may or may not be trashy

Some of them. There are only two families that live there, but it's not all
as bad as I made it seem. The closest relations that is a known fact is of
second cousins marrying. They are different enough looking that if you see
one, you know it.

There is one smart one, (I guess he's still alive, as I haven't seen him in
better than 20 years) who was bright enough to work as a very good mechanic.
They called him Worm.

Bugs are no problem. You have to learn how to walk between them.

Could be. They are most certainly more intelligent, though.
