I spent most of my formative years in the unincorporated area of Utah County in between Salem and Woodland Hills. We liked to call it Dream Mine City (for those who know the reference).

The great debate that I had with the locals was over the pronunciation of the word "tour," which they pronounced "tore" (which I thought hickish) and I pronounced "two-er" (which they found faggy).

The other debate was over who hated "richies" (rich people) the most. Once, I had fisticuffs with a kid in 4th grade because I said in class that my dad had been on a trip to Wyoming. This made me sound like a "richie" (remember, the trip was to Wyoming) so I had to take him down. Luckily I surprised him because he did not expect someone as "richie" and "faggy" to go all Ralphie from Christmas Story on him. So that was my one succesful fight.
