BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!... I know whatcha mean on this one. My wife lived in Georgia for a year or so, about 10 years ago. Damned if this little canadian cousin didn't have a clue what in heck she was talkin' about!!!
Met a local guy here not long ago, and thats what his first name was. Didn't my daughters start laughing their heads off.

I can't help but wonder at the thought of a busload of Geordies on holiday in the US deep south.
And maybe the ensueing gentlemanly discussion following an expression such as 'Bloody southern puffs!'

Well from what I've read in the thread, we have thrown down the gauntlet to the Brits, the Frogs, the Yanks our Crim bretheren from the Atipodes and we have all taken and given what could be called equal rebutts, but when is some one going to be politically incorrect and say something rude about the Krauts and their insufferable attitude of being the best at winning the poolside towel laying comp, or eating the largest meals or downing the largest glasses of foaming, tastless unbelievably strong bier
.....or see the cute lil' southern waitress's expression when my dear Geordie friend Patricia ordered "just a couple of grits" just to see if she liked them. Then to listen to the discussion that followed when the waitress tried to explain why they couldn't be served just a couple at a time was even better.
Having never experienced the 'poolside' antics of Germans on holiday, so I don't really understand the British obsession with it. However, I am led to believe many Mediterranean holiday resorts are not exactly enamoured with British holidaymakers... not surprising if A certain Civilian is anything to go by...
I have lived and worked in Germany, albeit many years ago. I found them to be very warm, friendly people with an extremely droll sense of humour and a sense of the absurd - which is probably why they like Monty Python so much. I love their beer, wine and food, and an evening playing darts with a retired Luftwaffe Pilots' Association in Berlin was absolutely priceless.
