It makes it sound more like a chronic illness. It's all about pity. People are selfish.

I lived in the southern coastal region of NC for 12 years, and it is definately a southern thing. I also heard "I got the sugar" instead of "I've got diabetes"... it's kind of funny...

Because they're unintelligent and do not know how to properly express themselves as a result of the poor state of the US education system.
I hear "I got the shits!" a lot, too.

Let me guess, the Ghetto uneducated people say "I got THE diarrhea."

Same reason some people say they're going to the Wal-marts.
Or they got the sugar. (diabetes)
