You know you are South when you order ice tea and the query is,
"Sweet, or Unnnnsweet"
Only Yankees drink, Unnnnsweet.
Strange how you can take a Yankee or Westerner and put them in the South and in a month they've picked up the accent, sound like a local, but it doesn't work the other way around.
Ask a Brit some time to explain "maps of India"

Tight as a tick - this meant a lot of different things. Mostly meant high strung (wired too tight) - or could mean a close group of people (thick as thieves).

Yeah high to a grasshopper's knee.
I like the deer gut's one better, too. Never heard it before.
I knew Blinny would be on her role the minute BB posted.
A few beers short of a six-pack.
A few cards short of a full deck. Not sure those are regional.
