A Country Dictionary from a City Girl
I have realized that certain terms are loosely used in the country parts of Mississippi. I was raised in Dallas, and I went to school in Austin, so I have found myself creating new definitions of terms as used in my new surroundings.
highway: a long stretch of road with one lane going in either direction, usually flanked on either side by fields
traffic: a slowing of vehicles due to the large number of tractors on the "highway" (see above) during the Fall
a long commute to work: a 20 minute drive in "traffic" (see above)
downtown: one or two blocks of shops and a restaurant built very closely together
grocery: often used in place of restaurant
Feel free to add more definitions as needed.

At least you won't have to see a continual onslaught of chain stores sprote up around your favorite parts of town, get beat by the Boomer Sooners every fall, or deal with the nightmare which is I-35.
On the down side, the Tex Mex in North Mississippi and the Delta isn't as good.
However, the bbq is better.
The hook 'em sign makes a good class husher.
