Newcomer Gets His First Experience With Specific Colloquial Terms Used In the Southern United States
Comedian Marshall Patrick amusingly demonstrated the linguistic differences between different parts of the United States by acting out how a newcomer would react to specific colloquial terms used predominantly in the south for the first time.
My new helper is new to the south, we can’t even talk!
A great example of this difference is how they each refer to carbonated soft drinks.
Person 1: I’m going and get a coke you want a coke?
Person 2: Uh no I’m good, I’m good. I don’t want a Coke.
Person 1: All right whatever
Person 2: I’ll take a Mountain Dew
Person 1: I just asked you if you wanted a coke, you said no I don’t want a coke. what you playing mind games? So you want a Coke?
Person 2: I want a Mountain Dew
Person 1: That’s a Coke
Person 2: It’s not the same. Coke don’t even make Mountain Dew, Pepsi does
