Was behind a local man, queued up for a concession stand at the Greenville Zoo in South Carolina.

Somebody calls him, seemingly to ask where he was. He said the food line. He had to repeat himself several times before clarifying where he was.

Apparently that person thought he was saying "Food Lion", a regional grocery chain. The accent makes the words sound almost the same.

I grew up in southern Appalachia and can absolutely hear this exchange taking place πŸ˜‚

I was just a tourist...there for the eclipse in 2017.

The next day was pretty hot. Some other local saw me sweating and offered a "coo rag". I had never heard of such a thing and was a bit icked by the name. Later found out he was being hospitable and it's a common thing often known as a cooling towel. My nothern-latitude ass never heard of such a thing.

My buddy says a thing when he doesn't understand but doesn't want to offend.

Man: lots of psychopaths

Him: "You know it! All day every day"

Is that where that came from? I always wondered how we got that saying. A joke in a movie makes sense at least

[–] RampantParanoia2365 3 points 1 day ago

Uh, no I doubt the movie got the line from this person's friend.

Naah that is basically impossible to distinguish when you are sitting on a noise train.

I wish that was why, but sometimes this happens in a quiet room

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

That was very satisfying at the end.
