As a bo'n-an'-raised Suthanuh, Ah strongly resent yew callin' me
uh Yankee!!

I love working in NFJ (N is for New, J is for Jersey, and anyone who
has been anywhere near the city and heard some of these morons talk

inside any double-word noun and inside most adjective-noun combos).
I especially love working on Memorial Day (*sigh*),
