My dear, much-loved, highly intelligent brother-in-law John hails from Georgia, and one of my favorite Georgia-isms that he (rarely) uses is “I got this at the gettin’ store” or “You can get one of those at the gettin’ place.” It’s such a great phrase, and it always makes me laugh.

Georgia: It’s the new hotness.
