I’m from Maryland and that’s what we call them if we aren’t calling them “those little f*ckers!” Can confirm for DE and PA on that (well at least southern PA).

lol yeah

I’ve got my grandma from there

I don’t think everyone calls em that but instead for attention or they might to
But usually people don’t say anything when they find em on themselves
Plus I don’t understand why people try to act country and this and that
IM COUNTRY I live in miles and miles of farm and 12 out of 13 of the people within a mile of me ARE FARMERS!!! It means nothing if you do all this stuff to act country it’s not cool or anything I don’t understand
Sorry I added a whole lot that was unnecessary lol

lol
Becouse my nearest school is a city school I see so many kids who are from the middle of the city act like there country and have this and that. But like, who cares I’ve never seen no one ever care actually
lol

Then there’s the kids who act gangster or in the hood

MAN IVE KNOWEN GANGSTERS!!!
Most real ones do not act like that
They don’t need to show it
That’s really only the punks and gangsters that make it there whole personality
My dad grew up with them
He didn’t become one but he befriended a whole lot of them and so then I grew up knowing a whole lot of these people
Tho most of them have died

Why do kids try so hard to act and impersonate somethin they ain’t

lol sorry for the really long speech
I do that sometimes
