This has been one of the best threads I've read yet in this group! I'm a native Texan, so consider myself a true Southerner and totally agree with everyone. I love this saying: I wasn't born a Texan, but got here as soon as I could. You can also substitute the word south. You'all come back, ya'hear!

Yes, you would! You see, now the northwoods are full of southern lumbermen, and there are lots and lots of chili joints around now, when there used to be none!
Some of the natives of Maine have a "Yankee Drawl" that sounds suspiciously familliar.

speaking of buggies, when we moved to NH our neighbor referred to carrying things in the wheelbarrow as "buggy lugging". It stuck with us (we do a lot of buggy lugging of firewood, etc.) What else would you say, wheelbarrowing?

I think wheelbarrowing sounds like a perfectly respectable word.
My mom, who was of the older NH generation, always used the word lugging by itself, describing taking anything anywhere, including us children!
