Diet Southern

Is a person from the border south region of the southern United States such as Maryland,Virginia,Missouri and Oklahoma. Instead of a deep southern accent they have a mild twang and elongate their O’s. They still cook southern food, parts of their state are still extremely politically conservative and religious wise are Methodist or baptist, and they tend to be more down home and hospitable.
