We get teased a great deal about the southern things. It doesn't bother me because I wouldn't trade my life here or the place I grew up for anywhere else!
I look at it as a learning experience and love hearing about far away places, even if it's just a few states away 😁
I agree. This reminds me of last year when I was in Hershey, PA. We were eating in a restaurant at our hotel, and the family at the table next to us was from somewhere in the south (I'm assuming). The grandmom (another assumption on my part) had such a heavy southern accent. She spoke slowly and sounded incredibly sweet. Honestly, I could have listened to her speak for hours!

I think Chris' phrase was "guess what," not "you know what." Similar but different.

I know!!!
How about a Lock-n-Lock TSV shown in two hour segmentts...
Hosted by...the L+L lady, David V and JT?
Why....a new drinking game is born!!!!, or , if you don't imbibe, play Bingo with the following expressions, which may go something like this......
Throw one back every time you hear the over used expressions...
Let's look in, shall we? I'll set the scene....a counter with 60 different color plastic tubs, DV in his apron, L+L lady running to and fro and laughing loudly, and a guest appearance on the set by JT......
L+L Lady..."You know what? You can use these to store all kinds of stuff!!! You know what? Shoe laces, crayons, beads, Lego toys...and you know what? You can even store pasta, corn for popping and you know what? That air tight gasket keeps bugs out so you know what? You can store HONEY it it!!!!"
DV chimes in excitedly....glancing at his card to be ready to recite the colors and number sold...
." That .....Is....EXTRAORDINARY!!!!! This is where it's at!!!
Everyone....IS.....ordering these for the Holidays!!!... Lets go over colors.....Here's red, blue, ( I call is Carolina blue!!) ...farmhouse green,...sickroom yellow....black....jet black....light black....and this one is the only matte black.....Red will sell out first foodies!!!!...Ooop!! Pink is gone!!
He winks slyly and says to no one in particular....
"Let's do a Happy Dance!!!!"
He twirls around as JT runs from offset, shrieking excitedly, hands waviing wildly...
"Oh mah Honey....I KNEW you would sell out......All these colors!!! ..O my Honey...my daughters....honey...when I go to thier apartments mah honey...I see them in ALL the colors!!!....and ma honey....they take thier lunch to dance class in the red ones!!!....Ma honey....these are SO exciting!!!....My daughters will take them to Disney Ma Honey!!!"
L+L Lady..." And you know what? They go with ALL Decor....you know what? You can leave them out for Christmas decorations they are so versatile!!...and you know what? You can fill them with those little ball candies...can't mention the name( wink wink)...you know what...?.....give one to your mailman, garbage man, and you know what? Your kid's teachers!!! You know what? Fill them with Cheryl's Cookies you know what......!!!"
The three overused expressions... Ma honey/You know what/ EXTRAORDINARY ...go off into the nether regions of the studio...while Mark Charles is up next with his set of 35 snips in all colors....
I won't know cause I'll be too liquor-sodden from my new drinking game!!

@LTT1 : I am a Georgia peach and very proud of my accent.Hope that y'all can accept me.
My SIL says : "Actually" all the time and she stated it makes her sound intelligent.😮🤓🤓. So one year , I ordered M & M candies with the word: "Actually " and her first name on them for her Birthday gift.😁😁😁😁😃😃

I agree. I'm from Indiana and we don't have any accents here. Southern people and people from the northeast have accents.
