In certain parts of the Deep South, you gotta be careful when telling folks you're from LA. You see, LA can also mean Lower Alabama. No, really. To avoid confusion, just go ahead and say 'Los Angeles'. Then folks'll understand right away why you have a funky accent. You won't have to explain. And just go ahead and say 'University of Texas' when you tell 'em where you went to school. If you say 'UT', they'll ask you about your favorite places in Knoxville, TN.
