Wes,

Is that Latin hick?

Actually, in the South, where I used to live and was fortunate enough to sojourn for 4 months last year in RK's zipcode, there are two distinctly different dialects.

One equates to "hick"; which is basically red-neck in-bred, Blue Ridge mountain, "Dueling Banjos, put some chlorine in the gene pool" hick-sprache.

The other is "Soul" or "Jive" which, for fear of being labeled a bigot, racist, hon..well, you get the picture..I shall not go into further...Interestingly enough, almost no one who speaks one can communicate with one who speaks the other.

Virtually none of either speak loogieish.

Tom A.
