This is in response to Brittany’s junkyard quote “A customer referred to being "Publix-sick" instead of homesick while she is in North Carolina.” I find this to be a very interesting use of language. First it’s simply very quirky language that you don’t hear often. Second it shows a something about the character that spoke it. Although many don’t realize it Publix is a regional store, so someone that has been there enough to miss it shows the types of things the person values. I would be intrigued to see a story or even a poem that uses this idea of someone being so homesick that the only thing they can think about is the Publix in their hometown.
