but my main questions here, are to keep me OUTTA trouble, i need YA'LL to help out.

#2 When visiting the south, you should never_________________!
#3 When i drive to my hosts house from the airport should i stop for roadhill on the way or would that be overstepping my bounds?

Definitly work on the vocabulary. You'ns is a dead giveaway. Its Yall. Best not try to fake it either.

Some general observations.

Camo is not just for hunting.
Don't drink any of that fancy imported beer.
Beware of eyeballin' another dudes gal. Remeber the old Souther Chivilary ideas are still in effect.
Roadkill is fine. But please make sure it is fresh. For extra points have your own knife own hand for guttin' and cleanin'. Nothing says CITY SLICKER like lack of a decent knife.
All words that end in -ing the g is silent.

Seriously you might want to spend some time in a tanning bed and run the heat before you come. I have freinds up your way and trust me when you get down here you will wonder how it could be so hot outside of a desert.

DO NOT try to fake the accent, unless you like being laughed at. We think it's hilarious. A pocket knife is as essential at a wallet (called a bill-fold), and keep it sharp. Don't ask for hot tea--ain't no such thing here. Be polite, even when you had rather punch someone--it could save you a lot of grief. Don't talk about how much better things are where you come from--you will politely be invited to return--RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, have a sense of humor, smile and wave back at folks, and you should have a good time. Enter the racetrack at your own risk.

#1 Say ma'am: thats not "mam" as in mammy, but "ma-am". say "madame" out loud then leave out the d. You got it!

#2 I'll let you wonder about this, 'cause you need to be afraid. Be very afraid! That's the only way y'all will respect us.

#3 If you ain't gonna cook it, leave it alone! And don't run your tires on it, either. My momma might want it!
