I've been in a few places in the south (helllllloooo New Orleans!) and had to give up and just nod at people talking to me and say, "Uh huh, yeah, sure" as if I understood them.
BTW I've watched British television shows in which the joke relies on stereotypes about various dialects and I'm sure the humour is extremely funny but I just didn't get it (I think I'm thinking of a Catherine Tate sketch; My friend used to make me put the captions for the hearing impaired on when we watched those).
Also, there's apparently a move to rename tomato sauce "ketchup" here. MORE WHAT. I don't use ketchup, I use tomato sauce! Except not often! But I refuse to use ketchup even on an irregular basis, due to my being Australian and not American!

We pretty much did the same with that show - though it was HILARIOUS! I had to have my dad explain some of it though

And don't get me started on trying to pass off Cheerios as an Uncle Tobys product...
