Surfing around tonight I saw a movie supposedly set in SC. “Carolina Moon” was the title . . . What I found was the typical Hollywood attempt to mimic the south.
Things like:
*Accents that sound as if they came from a Cracker Jack box, turning many one syllable words into two or three
*Lots of mud and farm equipment
*Most of the locals had a cumulative IQ of 87 (I literally mean if you added all of their IQs up, it would total 87)
*And, of course, the obligatory use of old, old words drawn out ever so slowly.
All I know is this: I don’t know anyone who sounds, talks, or acts like these folks in South Carolina. Now, maybe in Georgia . . . .
