OT: Top 3 Ways You Know You've Adjusted to College in Southern Ohio

[lost_n_justin's_smile]

"Y'all" is now a part of your daily vocabulary.

You go through the checkout line and ask the nice man to please get you a medium soda instead of a pop.

You refer to home as "that place up north"

:D:D:D

LMAO! I've had personal experience with that southern Ohio accent!!! Many years ago, I was managing with Wendy's in West Virginia, and they had the franchise territory for parts of Ohio as well. They were opening a new store in Ironton (pronounced ARN-(t)un :p ) at the very southern tip of the state, right across the river from Ashland, KY.

They put me on the carry-out window, and I lasted for all of about 3 minutes......it was decided that I couldn't understand the customers, they couldn't understand me, and I needed to be behind the scenes, inside, where I wouldn't have to try to figure out what the hell they were saying!

I must be a southern hick then, because that's not how people around here pronounce it. LOL
