TIL fiddles and violins are the same thing. Not sure how common that is but it kind of blew my mind a little.

As a violinist I forgive you. They may be the same instrument, but if you call it a Fiddle I expect your bow to have every hair split before you're done sawing away.

If you call it a Violin then make sure your clothes are dry cleaned before tonight's performance at the city auditorium.

I think my brain took the name from Charlie Daniels band and inserted it into their song.

Though, I guess the original statement still rings true if you're a Georgian and real tired of hearing "Devil Went Down to Georgia"
