Bama Lingo Quiz

I remember when I first moved from Oregon to Utah (about 15 years ago) and I thought Utah was a strange place with quirky people. Since that time I've realized that it doesn't matter where you go, it will be different than where you've been. Moving to Alabama has definitely proven that. One of my favorite differences is the way people speak. Not just the accents, but the vocabulary. So I've compiled a little vocab quiz for all y'all to see what you know about Bama-speak.
