Swamp Yankee

The truth is told. Good comment...even if you are a Yankee. Actually, my two redneck brothers in SC found out recently that our "Southern" heritage goes back only 4 generations. Before then....Connecticut. They about died. You have to know my brothers...

Having traveled in the South extensively and with many, wonderful friends in Alabama, other than the accent, there is little difference between a genuine "Swamp Yankee", and a "Good ol' Boy".
People from the other parts of this state think the NE CT Swamp Yankee is an embarrassment, if they admit to our existence at all. We tend to think of them like mosquitoes, annoying disease carrying parasites, that won't go away until you kill 'em.
By the way you just may have some Swamp Yankee blood if;
