Those mid-western accents are pretty boring, I will give you that much. The old Mutual of Omaha TV series put me to sleep every time.
I like to keep people guessing, so I will often use a different accent for the same word.
Well I like that I can pretty much blend in anywhere and not stand out completely. The most anyone can guess is that I'm "not from around here." Although lately my friends back north have told me I sound "more southern," so it's time to get out of the south.
No, what I tire of us is the whole inferiority complex that many rural Americans have with the whole "oh city slicker in your black shiny car think you so much better than me cuz you gots fancy college 'grees n' stuffs, well I can farm and live off the land." It's a persecution complex, so many country slickers think that everyone from the suburb/city is mocking them or looking down on them, they constantly whine about this. But then to sit on this thread and do the exact thing you complain so mightily about is tad hypocritical. Most of the "city slickers" on here rarely complain about being "looked down upon," so when they talk trash at least they're not being hypocrites.
I also tire of the "oh po' city slicker couldn't last a day out heruh in these parts." Please, just because I don't live in a trailer or on a farm doesn't mean I can't handle myself. I grew up in a suburb that was literally 5 minutes away from being in farm country, anyone from my part of Minnesota can attest to that. I've also lived in Southern California, Virginia, rural south Georgia, and now I live in the city in north Georgia. Stop with the arrogance. Or at the very least don't whine when it's dished right back to you.
Right. When another poster comes and says outright that rural people are ignorant, you get riled that rural posters have the nerve to object. It's not an imagined slight when someone blatantly tell you that they are better than you. And you might want to read the thread to see which side threw the first stone. Because it wasn't a poster from rural America.
The EPA, in their attempt to punish those rural people, says that all the dust those farmers raise turning the ground and driving on unpaved roads is something that they need to stop happening. Oh yeah, raising all that dust is causing an extremely large footprint, according to Lisa Jackson and her cohorts.
Oh yeah, city people do love their paved roads. In the sub-division I live in, we had a dirt road. Most of us liked it, it kept people from driving to fast. The rich city dwellers who ventured to the country and couldn't handle the 2 months of dust, begged to have it paved.
Now those 5 people are gone and we are 6 years later still paying for the unnecessary paved road. I think people from the city just like to spend money, even when it's not their's.
I try to educate when I get the whiff of city slicker.
I show them my chicken yard and explain that all eggs are not perfect and the same shade of brown.
One even asked why I was growing weeds and I pointed out that they were onions.
This is if they are interested.
Then there are others that view fresh eggs with speckles on them and different shades of brown as "flawed" and just leave without a purchase. These type of folks are better left in the city.
Now I see why the stores only sell very white looking eggs and as close to the same shape. Hate to confuse those city people, most don't know where those eggs really came from. Heck, most only eat the whites anyway!!

Duh! Everyone knows you grow eggs like you grow tomatoes. That is why they call them "eggplants."
