I thought it was "awl." As in, "Checkyer awl, mister?"

Some yankee friends of mine were returning to PA from a Dead show in New Orleans via Mississippi. They stopped at a fillin station.
Attendant asks them "yawl need chickin". They were hungry so they said "yes, that sounds good".

My friend, the Belle of Red Stick down in Louisiana, says that Y'all in singular, and "All Y'all" is plural". :-)

It also landed him...if you saw the movie...Jaime Pressly AND Brittany Daniel. Now THAT is the power of the mullet.

Hey - Didn't you know that southerners are the ONLY ones who pronounce "Shi'ite" correctly? Rhymes with "sit"!

"Well, ah 'swan." Still dunno what it means.
I don't know the origin, either, BigB, but "I tell you whut," when people use it, they often squint their eyes down like something really significant is being pondered! Like somebody was "gonna get a whuppin" or "needed a whuppin."

Everybody knows that it's either a "pickup" or a "truck", but never both:-) Most of my southern friends here in NC call them a "Pick 'em up truck"

It is likely that swan, as in "well, ah 'swan", is rooted in swoon. Kinda (or is it kindly?) like being overwhelmed.

It also landed him...if you saw the movie...Jaime Pressly AND Brittany Daniel. Now THAT is the power of the mullet. IMO...the funniest part of that movie is the scene at the carnival where Joe Dirt puts the charm on ole girl.

"awl"
I tend to put a more "O" sound than "A"....hard to spell, "Owl" sends a completly different message!
To: bootless
I have never...not once...in my years of being raised in Bammer, adjoocated in Missipy, an' workin' in Taynasee...heard a Southerner refer to ONE person as "y'all." That's m'story an' I'm stickin' to it. :)

One day I answered the phone, and the voice at the other end said abruptly, "Whosiz?"
"With whom did you wish to speak," I said.
There was a long pause and then, "I kin tell ye right now by the way yer a-talkin' it's not who I's a-wantin."

The B in barefoot should be capitalized.
Barefoot Jerry was a moderatly popular Nashville area band about the same time as CDB was takin off.

One of my favorite phrases from Alabama was
