How to Speak Southern

Rating:
Summary: Very, very funny
Review: I happend upon this book as I was perusing the "Southern" themes on Amazon and thought, "What the heck?" Being a transplanted Southerner, I decided to give this one a shot and folks, let me tell you---you won't be disappointed! This is not only funny, but VERY well-written with lots of information. Heck, there's even things in here I didn't know and I grew up in three of the Southern states! I can only imagine what Yankess will make of this. Would also recommend another great Southern read: "The Bark of the Dogwood--A tour of southern homes and gardens: very funny, disturbing, and with some great commentaries on the south and what it means to be southern. Thanks Y'all!

Summary: funny, and oh,so true!!
Review: This book had me in tears. I'm from the south and worked with a northerner (from Michigan) who brought this book to work one day. What made it even more funny was when one of our fellow co-workers would hear some of the words and say, "Well, what's wrong with that?" They had heard those words all their lives and didn't even realize that there are different (northern) ways to say some things. It was too funny to read these words and realize that we say them this way without even thinking. Well, my northern friend moved away, and I'll never forget her. I believe a tiny bit of the south rubbed off on her while she was here!! "Y'all" just have to read this book! It's a hoot!! :)

Review: This book is full of southern terms that can help help any northerner (carpet bagger) or southerner master the southern way of speaking. It's gives you extremely entertaining ways to understand the many words by giving you funny examples of how the word is used along with the pronunciation of the word. I've used this book in both business and personal situations to lighten the day. Many examples from this book I've used in speeches and had the audience rolling in the aisles. Well worth the price!

Summary: Great book.
Review: This book kept me amused all the way through it. I am from the south,and even though I do not speak like that,it is very funny to see how others speak. I know a lot of people that talk like that,and now I can finally understand what they are saying. This book is helpful (in a sense),and very humorous. Although it is small,this book is one of the funniest things I have ever read, and I would definitely recommend it.
