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.
