Sure, but it helps knowing a few things already...especially for people like me, whose native tongue is not English... that makes fewer things to try and figure out!  |

How about when you don't understand what someone has said instead of 'Excuse me what did you say" I hear "Say what?"

What about Po dunk? Its probably not indigenous to SC or SC alone.. but I have heard many a SC town described as a "po dunk" town usually followed by a statement of ....full of "bush league" politics.....
This may have been used already... I use to know an older gentleman who used the term "on accounta" (on account for or because of)...."The game was canceled on accounta rain"
