"Thems fightin' words"

[babydollhead]

if someone said that to you for differing of opinion, how would you feel. It's so Appalachian, it makes me laugh.

1. "it's so Appalachian"

you got something against a whole part of the country? Now, them's fightin' words!

3. yikes. your right!

My husband is from south Georgia, and any Appalacian comment I say hurts his pride. That pride thing, I just don't have it. Compassion is the opposite of pride. to me.

6. I'm a descendant of Appalachia

and I don't like it being synonmyous with stupidity and whatever else. My mom lies about where she grew up to avoid being stereotyped. People can't help being born there anymore than they can being born into poverty elsewhere.

2. It is a common comic line in Ark & Tex.

No one takes it seriously.

4. I'd assume they were doing a Yosemite Sam impression.

And I can't be angry with a Bugs Bunny fan.

5. Do people actually talk like that?

Sounds like something Jed Clampett might say (or more likely Granny).

Listen my whole family on my mom's side lives in Tennessee, probably 100 of them and I've never heard anybody say anything like that.

If somebody said that to me I'd laugh my ass off.
