You Ain't Right Club

[GotSmart]

Can someone explain to a non-native English speaker what exactly "I ain't right" or "You ain't right" means? I mean, 

English is my 3rd language... maybe I ain't right.

It is an attitude that goes against the socially accepted traditions.  For example, Pouring a quart of apple moonshine in the punch bowl at the pasters wifes birthday party. Just because she is so uptight it hurts.

Thanks for the explanations! I think I got it now... and hey, I definitely ain't right, either!

I ain't right because mentally I still live in the last century, the early part.
Looking for a form of entertainment and a conversation starter on the road, I got a few pair of bones. I'm gonna be a bones player!
Mississippi is on my bucket list. Most people, especially Mississippians, totally don't get that one.
I hate thinking like everyone else.
I don't keep up with the latest in pop culture. I watch recently released movies, and don't recognize anyone!

Yeah, I sho ain't right!

That sounds absolutely perfectly right to me.  I probably couldn't identify on sight 8 of the top 10 Hollywood shmucks that we're supposed to be idolizing.

That part about going to Mississippi on purpose, though.... uhhhhhh yeeeahhhhhhhh....

I haven't been to Mississippi yet, but I am sure there are lots of cool things to see there.  

I was in Oklahoma not long ago, and one of the people I talked to said they had lived in OKC their whole life and couldn't understand why a tourist would want to come there--implying that I "wasn't right".  She was wrong though--there were lots of cool things to see there and I had a great time.

Yeah, actually there are things to see in Mississippi. I had ancestors that died in the series of battles around the seige of Vicksburg, and one that was taken prisoner at Grand Gulf, it was awesome to go visit the places where it happened, and I had a good time on the riverboat casinos there too.

Before I reply I need to tell TJB to please try to restrain yourself cuz adding 5 to 10 to your wait to get out on the road would suck !!!!

Skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh kuh !

I thought this thread would mostly be other people nominating someone to the club .

However it would seem a large percentage of us here on CRVL not only belong but are proud of it too!
The stories of why are priceless !!!

So welcome aboard one and all to the greatest assembly of AIN'T RIGHT ever seen by the world of "normality".....

(I think it started for me when ED announced "Tonight ladies and gentlemen right here on out stage..........
Topo Gigio!!!")

I want to trace the path of Grierson's Raid sometime.

Mississippi is all about the blues to me. Yes, the racial violence and segregation is a terrible part of American history. I would never visit Money, MS, where Emmit Till was murdered for instance.

But the blues markers, genuine Delta blues is vanishing from our culture. There almost no juke joints left, just the Po Monkey out in a corn field. I want to see the Crossroads, where Robert Johnson made a deal with the Devil so he would teach him the blues!
