paula deen

I'm just glad her show's canceled. My wife loves the Food Network and liked to watch her show, but I got fed up with the constant "y'all" coming out of her mouth. OK, we get it, you're from the South. Find something else to say. In fact, the way she said it so much it sounded pretty fake.

Not defending her or anything, but I'm pretty sure saying "y'all" is out of pure habit. It's kind of a thing here in the south, and I used "kind of" VERY loosely. My mother and I used to watch Paula Deen all the time and I never really noticed it, her saying "y'all".
I used to say it, too. However, I've been trying to get rid of my southern drawl, first order of business being to stop using the slang and start enunciating. I've already stopped with the slang. *sigh*


And plaincents822, I think my mother would probably agree with you. She was ready to defend Paula Deen until I told her about the plantation wedding. That was where she drew the line. She's black.

Same here. That plantation stuff was the deal breaker.
