I put an ad on craigslist looking for a calf to foster. A fellow answered my ad and said "That mama cow aint gonna take no other cow's calf, you silly CITY SLICKER"..... I was furious! So upset in fact that I emailed him back from my own email address.... My level headed husband pointed out that this might not be the smartest thing I'd ever done, lol! He also mentioned that I was not nearly as mad when I drunk guy in the Walmart parking lot had called me a COW.... Yep... City slicker... a world class insult around here!

My wife (who was a sure 'nuff city slicker and has now become a full fledged country girl) nursed all of our children. After we had our first we went to visit my grandmother (A sure 'nuff country girl) and my wife excused herself to nurse the baby. My grandmother realized what was going on and caught on that she was nursing our daughter and remarked "Well you're just a regular Jersey aren't you?".
My wife... only then in the beginning stages of her recover from city slicker-ness... looked at me puzzled. I told her... it's a compliment.
Not many would understand that from where she comes from but that's a compliment where we come from.
