shore do talk funni...Are yew a Yankee?" *sorry, that's the best thick Southern drawl I can write.*  My reply was "No, I'm not a Yankee, I'm from California, so I'm a Westerner.  We stayed out of the whole Civil War

My ex-mother-in-law would always refer to anyone not from our state as "ferners" and they all lived "out yonder".  She also called Florida "Flordie"  and instead of helping someone, you "hoped" someone.
