Oh my god, I’m from central North Carolina, we call New Yorkers “halfbacks” because they move to Florida, hate it there, so they move halfway back, to North Carolina. And then you get “where I’m from, we…”
I have now decided to no longer tolerate that behavior in my presence. Next time I hear a fookin noo yoaka start a sentence about where he’s from, I’m taking hostages.
I was back in Florida a couple years back. I’d been away about five years (I now live in Hawai’i) and had to go to Miami for a day. The overwhelming feeling I got while driving in Florida was that everyone wanted to be somewhere else lol

Tell 'em to keep going!
“Where I’m from we-”
“I don’t fucking care. Go back if it’s so great. Now.”
If they wanted it to be a little similar but cheaper they should have moved to fucking NJ.
I grew up in Florida (sorry about us clogging up your mountain towns in the Fall). I share the rage. That accent actually triggers me.
I had a coworker years ago that was from Miami originally. I still remember the bumper sticker on his car that read “Miami. Flee it like a native”
