Draggingtree Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Where Southern Culture Came From Filed under: General — Patterico @ 6:00 am What makes Southern culture distinctly Southern? Where did the Southern accent come from? Why do folks from the South often say “howdy” instead of hello, define courage as “grit,” call distilled liquor “moonshine,” or say “yonder” to refer to something distant? Where do terms come from like “young ‘uns” . . . or “fixing to” do something (meaning “about to” do something). http://patterico.com/2016/11/22/where-southern-culture-came-from/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
