Things I Learned in North Carolina

Let me add to this list from when I lived in Jacksonville/Richlands/Topsail areas...

You can get out of a night in jail if you get in a drunken brawl with some Marines and clear out at the Waffle House at 3am if you live on certain roads... "Oh you live on .......road?! Just go home and I'll take care of this for you."

Ebonics and Hillbilly have more in common than the users would like to admit...

Ebonics... Fo Shizal = For Sure

Hillbilly... Yunta = Do you want to?

If you run over a big mean looking red snake in the road, turn around and run it over again a few times just to make sure it is dead and wont track you down from your license plate number.

That big dead bloated raccoon in the road...do whatever you can to NOT run it over! That smell will stay on the underside of your truck forever no matter how many times you wash it!

If swimming at Topsail island, it gets real dark real fast and everyone says get out of the water then they evacuate the whole island... get out of the water and off the island because it has been known to sink during storms.
