Sometimes I am embarrassed to be from Tennessee:

In a host of other states, including Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky and WV, it also would have been called "toothbrush", only misspelled.

If invented in WV, then there would only be one per family.

 

Wait, you're from TN?

That might explain a thing or two.

 

I did that intentionally to see how long it would take for someone to catch it.

 

Oh HELL no! :tut:

My parents didn't meet at a family reunion.

 

Say what you will about the South but you NEVER hear about someone retiring and moving up north!

 

I'm sure the bodies aren't piled high.

 

Especially if you live in the South and don't talk to retirees in the North
