I have been at FAMU two years, and even though I used to to come to Florida every year or two growing up, I didn't see much of what I have seen since I have been here. It seems like people take pride in bein extremely country. What I mean, is those who have horrible dredlocks and sometimes gold teeth, and just talk ignorant as hell as if it is tite. I don't have any problem with a country accent, but there are some people who completely over-do it, and who never talk proper, as if it is the thing to do. I was watchin grandaddy souf on TV, and he was talkin about "down here, we don't pronounce the th at the end of words. We don't say south, we say souf. We don't say north, we say norf" and I was lookin like man this guy's a idiot. I could see if a kid was raised to say souf and that's all he knew, but for somebody who knows how to say it right but chooses to say it wrong just sounds stupid as hell to me.
Now have things always been like this? Is it just a Florida thing? I definitely realize that all people down south are not like this, so I am not generalizing anyone at all. But for these select people who take pride in bein ignorant and never lookin presentable, is it somethin that they think is good? I don't get it...
I know when I go to L.A. I have a hard time understanding the people there----moreso than understanding the people in VA or GA. I guess its a thing about where you were raised and not necesarily them sounding ignorant.
Wow! What part of LA are you talkin about? And is it because they sound too "hood" or because they sounded real real white? Only people I can imagine you talkin bout is the super og bangers who talk real hard for no reason.
I GO TO CAU AND NOTHING IS MORE COUNTRY THAN AN ATLANTA ACCENT.....ACCENTS FROM THE SOUTH INCLUDING THE VERNACULAR SOUNDS LIKE A FOREIGN LANGUAGE..... I HAVE TO ASK PEOPLE TO REPEAT THINGS A MILLION TIMES ..BUT WHAT'S SO FUNNY IS PEOPLE FROM NEW YORK THINK PHILLY PEOPLE TALK COUNTRY......

Ice Cube aint country, he sound ghetto though.
listen to the way Ice Cube say the word Barbershop......"BOORBURSHOP"
Its definitely not a Florida thing. Im from Orlando, and yes there are some who glorify the "dirty look" and I know its prominent in Tallahassee (because it is kinda country), but no, most of us dont talk like that.
