A couple from Louisiana and a couple from the East Coast were seated on an airplane. The girl from Louisiana being friendly and all said, "So where ya'll from?"
The East Coast girl said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."
The girl from Louisiana sat quietly for a moment and then replied:
"So, where ya'll from, bitch?"
hey thats not nice!!!!
Maybe not nice but then the method should be addressed by the same method...:)
All smiles here.
You don't have to go to the east coast to find, that kind, you can find them any where.
This works better...
A couple from Louisiana and a couple from the Connecticut were seated on an airplane. The girl from Connecticut being super friendly and all said, "So where you guys from?"
The Louisiana said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."
The girl from Connecticut sat quietly for a moment and then replied:
"So, where you guys from, mean person?"
This works better...
Girls from Louisiana don't say "mean person", they say "bitch", tis truth I speak.

This works better...
Soooo, there were three couples playing golf. One couple from TX, one from LA and one from OK. When the TX lady bent over to tee off, her husband noticed that she wasnt wearing any panties. "my god woman , why arent you wearing any drawers? he said. She said because you dont ever give me any money for new underwear. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a 50 and told her to go buy herself some drawers.
Te woman from LA bent over and she wasnt wearing any either. Her husband asked why and she said because you dont give me any money for new undies. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a 20 and sent her to the store to get some.
Low and behold when the Okie girl bent over she wasnt wearing anything. The Okie man asked her how come and she said because you never give me any money. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a comb and said, My god, if your gonna be like that in public at least straighten yourself up some :0)
This is the way I heard the joke/
On his first day at Harvard, a young freshman from Georgia was exploring the campus and, in his southern drawl, asked an older student:
“Can you please tell me where the library is at?”
The student looked down his nose and and said, “At Harvard, we don’t end our sentences in a proposition.”
The freshman replied. “Pardon me. Can you please tell me where the library is at, assho**?”
This is the way I heard the joke/
Around here it is common, in our erudite region, for young girls to ask: "so from where are y'all"? This makes our hearts swell with pride.
But alas, there are those still who don't know better than to use a preposition of a sentence at the end of it. Where is such ignorance going to lead us at?
This works better...
OMG :-O
The experts are saying yes. You can end a sentence with a preposition

Are you insinuating that men from Oklahoma are cheap or that they just enjoy the view?

This is just the sort of thread up with which I will not put.

Where Y'at?
Downtown New Orleans has the Y'at dialect.
When I first moved to the city in the early 70's, I encountered it and it was very similar to a Hoboken accent so I had no problem understanding pronuciations of Yats except for some of the local colloquialisms.
People who live here always wonder why that movies and TV shows always fail to capture the Nu’awlins speak.
The movie Big Easy is the prime example. They did not have a clue. I played on a local 9th ward softball team for a few years and the centerfield I always called Juan because that is what everyone called him. It always befuddled me because he did not appear to be Spanish. Then after a year or so, I found out that his name was Warren. In the Big Easy credits they thank the police chief of New Orleans at that time. His name was Warren Woodfork. In the title credits they list him as Juan Woodfork. It was funny that they did not get it right.
The one TV show that got it right was a show called Frank’s Place in the late 80’s but they cheated.
The show’s producer had met a guy named Don Yesso on a flight to LA and was taken aback by his true Yat accent. Yesso was not an actor but he was hired to play a cook named Shorty and was told to just speak like he speaks. There was one great episode where he was featured and they subtitled his Yat speak into English. Too funny.
I have seen one episode of Treme on HBO but they should get it right because of all the local talent and advisors that they are using. The episode that I saw it seemed a little too stressed in delivery.
Of course, there is difference between the Yat accent and Black dialect here but they do have many points of convergence. But it took me years to understand what Black folk was talking to me here.

I heard this joke years ago by Justin Wilson and others.
Where Y'at?
My Father and his late mother both have/had strong yat dialects. Oyster = erster, oil = earl, poil = pearl, bearl = boil, etc.
My mother was always trying to keep us from picking up on those "bad habits" and would always tell us the correct way of saying things.
When I was around 8 or 9 we went to a birthday party and there was a boy there that would not answer me when I called him by name.
I complained to my mother about it and she asked me what I was calling him.
"Oil" I said, go figure, the kids name was Earl.
When I first went to Alabama I stopped to take a leak after registration. As I left one of the southern gentlemen said "here in Bama our mothers teach is to wash after relieving ourselves." I replied, "my mother taught me not to pee on myself."
This was how I heard it:
An Army Sargeant walks into the restroom and procedes to use the urinal. When he is done, he travels over to the sink and begins to wash his hands. As he does so, he sees a Marine walk in, use the urinal, and walk out without stopping to wash his hands. The Sargeant hurries out of the bathroom and catches up with the Marine.
"Didn't the Marines teach you to wash your hands after you use the bathroom?" the Sargeant asks.
The Marine gives him a blank stare and replies, "Didn't the Army teach you not to pee on your hands?"
