Which reminds me of a joke: A southern woman plunked herself down in a seat on the plane, settled herself, smiled, and said to the woman next to her "So! Where y'all from?"

The southern gal thought for a bit. "So! Where y'all from, bitch?"
My mother had no truck w/ prepositions at the end of a sentence. "Arrgh! You sound like a hick!" My mother was from Montana.
