Oh and Florida is not The South...actually, correction, anywhere south of North Florida is not the South. I grew up in Miami, its West Cuba. I actually don't know what this part of Florida considers itself, but to get to the "South" you have to travel North; there's an unspoken cutoff somewhere before Central Florida.
Speaking of colloquialisms: I spent some time in Texas. Many people used the phrase "might could" as in "We might could do that." Talk about having a nails-on-the-chalkboard effect. I wanted to run away screaming every time I heard it. Another one that I actually picked up and have to laugh at myself every time I say it "all get out" - "Its raining like all get out."
