I had my pronounciation of "naked" corrected yesterday. By a relative stranger. Although the person correcting me was by no means an expert on grammar, I was still in no position to correct him or point out his rudeness in "correcting" me in the first place. But sweetie, I knew exactly what ah wuz sayin'.
Naked, or Nekkid? Those are two completely different words in the South.
Naked is what Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden before that unfortunate Apple incident. The David statue is naked.
Nekkid is a whole different thing. Streakers are nekkid. Vanessa Williams lost her Miss America crown over some nekkid pictures of her...
There is a difference, yes?

Now that's the nekkid truth! I love it! This made me absolutely laugh out loud today. :-)
ReplyDeleteI realize that you wrote this a while back, but I'm playing catch up on your blog this morning.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the source of the following quote, but it's one of my favorites and goes right along with what you wrote: "Naked is when you have no clothes on. Necked is when you have no clothes on, and you're up to something." :-)
