A friend of mine who leads a fully countrified life was putting up some out-of-town guests for the weekend. She told them what her schedule would be, mentioning that she planned to go into town and do some errands in the morning. As the words came out she realized how quaint she may have sounded to her cosmopolitan guests.
"I felt like I should be hitching up the buckboard," she said. "Ma! We're goin' into TOWN!"
