True

Explanation:

The characteristic of language naming is being illustrated here.

We observe that the individual from North says tanning; which is known to mean an action by a person to darkened her skin by exposure to sunlight.

However, the same activity is marked by going to lay out in the sunlight,. and so the individual from the South who says that he is going to lay out is correct.
