Then why does South Carolina also have ABC stores? LOL I didn't know what ABC stood for, so I just looked it up. It stands for Alcoholic Beverage Control. All I know is, from what I have heard, all the ABC stores here have to have red dots painted on them. Not sure why. In California we called stores that sold liquor--liquor stores.keltin said:We call ‘em package stores too! We also call the liquor stores or ABC stores (because some of them are run by the State......Alabama Beverage Control, and they list ABC on the doors to show it is state operated).
Oh Renee, I forgot about "fixin' to"! Probably because it's part of my vocabulary. But what about this: Do any of you find yourself beginning to drawl when you spend some time speaking to others with an accent (or a thicker one than your own)? It kills me but I find myself "mirroring" people's accents as I talk to them. I'm always afraid they will notice and think I'm poking fun at them. What about ya'll?Renee Attili said:I moved from Indiana to Florida to South Carolina and then back to Florida. I never had an accent until I moved to South Carolina.
When you are inundated with Y'All's and greeted at the fast food drive thru with "Hi Y'all, may ey hep ya?" it does rub off. When I moved back to Florida, my friends picked on me unmercifully about my "Suthern" accent.(Even though Florida is further south.) I had to make a very conscious effort to fix it.
Which brings up the expression "Fixin'" like in "I am fixin' to go to the store"
Southern translation "I am getting ready to go to the store"
Northern translation " I am repairing to go to the store" What the.....?
