Not to be outdone by Ebonics in California, the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools is requesting billions of federal dollars to teach "Y'allbonics" in all classrooms south of the Mason-Dixon line. Included here are some samples of "Y'allbonics." If you do not understand any of them, contact a Southerner for an explanation.

I just remembered! A Canadian friend had a Cajun flight instructor (well, I *think* this is the relationship - I can't check right now) who used to say in amazement, and with great gusto: "Boy, I mean!"
