Ah, you speak Mississippi.

I persevered.

So your Yankees fandom is linguistic in origin?

It is. And I wasn't about to jump on some regional bandwagon when I moved to enemy territory.

I didn't know you were a transplant. I just assumed you were extra ornery in not being a fan of the region's baseball team.

Apparently you need to stay the hell away from New Orleans.

Yeah the funny thing is that I've now lived more than half my life here.

And who the hell (besides my effed up cousins in Ottawa who say runners ) is saying anything but sneakers?

Yeah, I realized recently that I lived in Chicago proper only one year less than I actually lived in Charleston proper. Admittedly, I have another 18 years until I'm in the Midwest as long as I was in the South.

Edit: two years longer in Charleston. I forgot I spent a year in Evanston.

And who the hell (besides my effed up cousins in Ottawa who say runners ) is saying anything but sneakers?

*awkwardly raises hand*

Not strictly true, actually. I grew up calling them runners, but my generic term is running shoes. Nowadays, because of what I wear, I just says Chucks.

Besides that unpleasantness between Flex and those Mardi Gras drag queen truthers?

I say tennis shoes. I know, it makes no sense, because 90% of the shoes I call that can't be even remotely classified as suitable for tennis, but that's what I grew up saying, and I can't shake it now. "Sneakers" feels weird as hell coming out of my mouth, even if I am never bothered when anyone else says it.

Apparently, according to the REALLY hot red zone around Baton Rouge, I should be a Louisianan. I have never been to Louisiana.

Yeah, sneakers, runners/running shoes, and tennis shoes all seem weird or wrong somehow. I don't sneak, run, or play tennis in those shoes. It's a form of clothing that feels better to me to call by brand (Nike, Converse, etc).

For me sneakers is the generic term then you might have running shoes, tennis shoes etc.
