Both at the recognizable accents and the crazy expressions that we, as southern women, completely understand.
I’ve never really classified myself as “southern” – I don’t know why. I guess I’ve never really thought about it. But that is what I am. And the more cruisers I meet that are headed south to the islands from one of those crazy Yankee states – or gad, even Canada, the more I realize we really are our own sub-culture. I’ve moved about from Alabama to Oklahoma to Georgia – and the accents are all quite different. But the mentality is pretty similar. We’re a group of people that are open and warm and would give you the coat off of our backs. We like to feed you. And we like to have a good time – including having enough sense to realize that life is too short to take ourselves too seriously (kinda sounds like the cruising community, right?) Our colloquialisms make perfect sense – to us at least, and just serve to illustrate our free-spirited, fun-loving attitudes.
Each time one of these videos come out, I watch it a few times and giggle. These women are hilarious and manage to show just how much fun you can have when you take a look at yourself through someone else’s eyes – just as we’ve been able to do when meeting fellow cruisers. I love observing people and it’s been very entertaining to see what other cruisers have taken away from our meet ups here in Savannah (you own GUNS?!) I hear that the people are what makes cruising so interesting. Even though we’re still living half on land, I’m already seeing what a great community cruisers have created.
I realize I haven’t been blogging much lately, but it’s finals time AND time to get ready to travel during the holiday break. (Yes, we have a house sitter – do go getting all crazy about me leaving the house empty. Remember – I have guns!) I hope to have time to catch up on blogging while we’re out there sailing for 3 weeks.
*feel free to leave questions in the comments below if you need clarification on any of our southern expressions – or if you have a favorite that you don’t see in the video!
