Did you know that South Floridians talk more like Northerners than Southerners??

I'm pretty much New Orleans according to the slide show.
But we call them crawdads rather than crawfish most of the time.

I had a friend who spent a lot of time in Florida, he said it was nothing but Northerners who were sick of the snow. :LOL:
He rented a trailer down there, found out after he signed the lease he went to school with 2 of his neighbors, and used to drink with a 3rd back home.
Pittsburgh has a language all it's own too.

I always called them crawdads too.
My accent seems to be mixed, I guess this is what you get when you're a military brat and move to a different part of the country every 4-5 years. I'm missing much of the Southern accent though.

Have the voice of a nice soft spoken southern lady; it's my only saving grace.

I wouldn't mind that. :LOL:
I'm between West Virginia and Pittsburgh...so you can only image.

I am fairly loud, with a slightly nasal sound and a piercing "edge" to my voice. I don't
have the Boston-influenced accent common to my area. I almost never drop an "r." :M

Hmm, kinda interesting. But I've never heard of a "drive-thru liquor store" before. :P

^They used to have them here in Australia. Not for many years though.

Quite common in New Orleans. In fact there's one about 10 blocks from the Palace. Medium Daquiris are $5 on Mondays and Tuesdays. Another one less than a mile , a third one less than 2 miles from here.

Drive through daiquiri shops; really miss those. :laugh:

When we lived in Houston Tx in the 50's and 60's I always felt slightly uncomfortable going with Mom and Dad to the liquor store. Although I left New Orleans at 3 1/2 years old, it seemed odd that you couldn't buy liquor in a grocery or drug store.
And Blue Laws? Heaven forbid! On a visit to Houston as an adult I couldn't buy some orange marmalade for my FIL on Sunday because it was flavoured with Scotch!

Have lived in other places which had liquor stores with drive-thru windows even with blue law, but New Orleans daiquiri shops were truly unique for the drive through experience of open container booze in a cup with a lid and straw. There was even a bar near our house which had a drive though window. :laugh:
