Not quite rifraff, but, a quite elderly, crotchety old guy was in a
local RS, trying to finish buying, yes, a CB RADIO.
He kept hollering to a confused teenaged salesgirl, "wurz the aar-ull?
Needs a aar-ull!" Just before I was going to have mercy and chime in,
another RS-er finally figured out he meant an Antenna (formerly known as
an aerial), found a magmount and sent him on his way.

I didn't know that there were old men with Southern accents in Detroit.


I grew up in Detroit in the fifties and sixties. There were PLENTY
of people there even then with accents like that. Thousands of them
came north for jobs during WWII, and stayed after the war was over.
