Southern Glossary
Places all over the world have their own vocabulary. Being from the Boston area, I am prone to saying things such as "that's wicked awesome" or call a water fountain a "bubbler", but now I want to expand my vocabulary. Throughout my interviews, observations of Atlanta natives, and various experiences, I will add southern words and phrases I learn to this glossary. (Colors vary as the person I learn the word or phrase from varies)
