You'll still here a lot of older people say "white bread" instead of bread. We Texans stick an adjective in front of lots of nouns when talking. |
ha ha... this so reminds me of a time I was visiting Bristol Va. with my dh and kids. We were at a small resturant and my dh was ordering a sandwhich. He asked the waitress what types of breads they had.. she looked like he had grown two heads and said
" sir, we only have white bread here" ...but you have to say it with the southern accent to get the effect... "white is why-i-te.
dh is from the "NORTH"
and still makes fun of me for that day.
In Miami all the students call female teachers "miss" ..."miss, I need help?" "Miss, can I go to the bathrroom" etc
