But when I go up north I flex or put on extra hard and put on a GA accent just because it gets me play. I go out of my way to say things like "right chere" or "shawty" knowing good and dang well I dont talk like that at the crib all because I know if I put on the GA accent its easy to get laid up top. All this online hate towards the south exists only online because when Im up in Philly, DC, Jersey City or NYC I get shown nothing but love.
Good post, I tried to rep you but had to spread it around. I'm probably lame for this, but I tried to put on Sean Paul type of accent when I was in middle school (only did it to girls from up North). I was trying to put on that Dirty South gangsta accent but I kept slipping in and out of it (that was the clown in me). I never get hated on when I'm up North(east), matter of fact, last time my family was in Brooklyn two women stopped and asked my sister if she was from the South and they gave her compliments on it.

You're actually on of the better posters on here and I understand it when you have to step up to some Southerners who slam your region or city. I have nothing but love for the North(east) and actually enjoy the friendly rivalry but it gets stupid when it turns bitter and sweeping generalizations are made. If I was from the West Coast, I would still think that the Civil War was being fought in the minds of both Northerners and Southerners. One last thing, you probably sound like a New Orleanian with your accent.

Who's this directed at? I know of some people who speak like this so I'll help you out some: da/dee for the, ta for to, uh for a, chu-awge for charge, ol' for old, ah for I. It's wa'ent for wasn't, dere for there, ya for you. I can't help you with bo' because I have no idea what that means (did you mean bro'?). Hopefully, this data on that accent can help you understand them better but I doubt it.

I would be more than happy to go to Central Park. Why? Because it is the most famous and iconic park in the world. You making fun of Central Park goes back to culture, which I wouldn't expect a southerner to understand.

Design and Build : This next statement is probably a really huge shock for you...... NOT EVERYONE LIKES WHAT YOU DO! Miami is the only place in the south that doesn't have the hey yall culture, which I HATE with a passion.
