I have to get my breath back after reading that, it has so many connotations I need a legal pad to list them.

Nobody mentioned "yuns" Ohio-midwest, contraction of you-un's as in "yuns gonna meet us there, or what?"
Listen to upperclass British accents. There are words that don't seem to differ in accent from the American South: "War" springs to mind.
While the southern accents are often endearing, and, when spoken by, respectivly, men or woman are the eptoime of masculinity and feminity (Go figure), New Yorks phrases and accents seem to either baffle ("I could care less!") or amuse ("fuhgedabboudit" or"whaddayadointameovahheah").
