learning southern vocabulary

"chain gangs" - when prisoners are let out of prison for work.  apparently it's still in vogue down here to refer to them as chain gangs.

"good ol' boys" - those people who are southern born and raised and whose grandparents, great grandparents, and great grandparents have lived here in the county.  they don't want anything to change.  they drive fourwheelers around, disregard fishing/hunting laws, and are otherwise known as "rednecks."

TACO bell - people here put the emphasis on the taco rather than the bell.  there is no taco johns or taco time here, so they feel the taco to be more pertinent than the bell.  can't say I blame them.
