the heat

Primarily used in the southern states (Alabama, Mississippi), "the heat" refers to a heat irritation which results from the thighs sweating and rubbing together while working or walking outdoors for extended periods of time. Conditions are made worse by humidity (on the Gulf Coast humidity is almost constantly at 85%+) and continued irritation, as experienced by construction workers.

General symptoms include:
-Redness
-Sensitivity of the area
-Discomfort while walking

Bayou La Batre

Often referred to as the "Seafood Capital of Alabama", Bayou La Batre is a city in Mobile County, Alabama with a population of roughly 2,700.

Bayou La Batre's primary economic focus is fishing and includes a sea port and seafood processing harbor for fishing boats. The area is also known for large amounts of shipbuilding, specifically seafood-oriented vessels. In 2005, Disney Studios contracted the building of the ship the Black Pearl for use in Disney's The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

Bayou La Batre was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to the facilities used for seafood processing and other areas of fishing commerce, including the many boats of the area (the boats were damaged by being pushed ashore, often landing on buildings and in treetops).

Bayou La Batre is referenced in the movie Forrest Gump as being Forrest's Army friend's ("Bubba") hometown. When Forrest becomes a shrimp boat captain, Bayou La Batre becomes his hometown.

As a result of the seafood industry, the smell of Bayou La Batre's air is often unbearable. Mixed with the swampy terrain, Bayou La Batre holds a distinct, repulsive odor. (See Bayou Barking Spider.

Note on pronunciation: The locals (and those familiar with the area) pronounce "Bayou La Batre" as "Balla Batree". The correct pronunciation is the articulated "Bayou La Batree"; however, most refer to it as simply "The Bayou".
"What's that smell? It smells like old crab and wet dog!"

old school rap

Used when referring to early rap music, usually between 1970 and 1997-ish.
Primary focuses of old school rap are usually more docile than that of newer rap, focusing on simply hanging out, or looking for women, rather than glorifying crime and prostitution. The artists typically proclaim themselves 'drug free'.

(Often to referred to the locals as simply "the watermelon festival".)

Every July 4th Grand Bay holds a Watermelon Festival at the baseball park west of town. Much like a local fair, there are games and activities in addition to lots of free watermelon, provided by the farmers of the community.

Some of the most popular events are the "largest watermelon contest" and the watermelon seed spitting contest.
"Are you guys going to the Grand Bay Watermelon Festival this year?"
