Jasmine Crockett, Queen of Ghettospeak
By Stu Tarlowe
I’ve spent a good bit of time in Dixie. After all, for at least ten years I was an exhibitor at fairs, shows and expos throughout the South. I have great memories of my times in the South and had some great friends and acquaintances there.
Although I was clearly a New Yorker, and was even jokingly called a carpetbagger (because I was down there to peddle my wares and make money), I was always treated well and warmly, perhaps even better than some other Northerners because, as some of my friends once explained, “You’re not one of those Damn Yankees who come down here and Y’all us to death!”
They were alluding, of course, to Northerners who affect a “Southern” style of speech, the most obvious sign of which is the frequent utterance of “Y’all,” which invariably comes out sounding unnatural and a sign of shameless pandering.
