Continuing With the Our State North Carolina Brackets.
"BLESS YOUR HEART" vs. "CATAWAMPUS
When these two get together, throw out the dictionary. Sure, plenty of people think they know what "bless your heart" means, but they only truly understand it when it is used in the right situation.
Meanwhile, catawampus means "askew," diagonal.
Well, I sure didn't know what catawampus meant.
"Y'ALL vs. "-VUHL/-BURUH"
Y'all could win it all. Its ubiquitous. Really, you have to go out of your way to say "you all."
Then again, "vuhl" and '-buruh" allow you to spot out-of-towners. Point at Greenville or Asheboro on a map. If a person says "Green-ville" or "Ashe-burrow" the jig is up.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
