"PLAYING POSSUM - pouting, sulking, or playing dead"

Who can forget the young girl on Ol Yeller that was sweet on Travis;

"Ol yeller one what been stealin awl dat food"

The ultimate is to use y'all twice in the same sentence.

My company is transfering a european guy into a sales job in Virginia and the Carolina's. Even thought I'm a yankee, I've been working on helping him speak southern.

Saw him two weeks ago and he said "How are youall doing?"

I said "NO, it's Hi y'all doin?" Repeat after me...again...again.

Saw him this week and he's been practicin'.

"He needed killin'" is a legal defense in Ala.

Bobble: Sacred scripture

Wear out: spank "I'll wear you out for that, youngun!"

[Billthedrill]

LOL - I distinctly recall sitting at lunch with my brother (who hails from San Diego) in a little roadside cafe in Missouri - the sweet young thang comes up to him and intones "Yew thew eatin' awn thyat?" He looked at her as if she were speaking Martian...dang outlander...

[Fierce Allegiance]

None of these phases/terms sound unfamiliar to me. While my dad was in the army, and before I was a twinkle in daddy's eye, Ma stayed behind in Savannah, GA, and picked up the terminology. While raising us, she used to break from her scottish tinged accent and speak southern.

Also, a tour in the coastguard and following racin my whole life helped.

The other night we were watching some show about a bunch of young kids trying to improve their racin carreers, and my daughter abbie started her southern thang, usin words like "hunnert" (100) and "say ax" (6) and a whole bunch of other real well pronounced stuff. I was rollin. she and a sayax pack of buuuud will do that

[OldBlondBabe]

Whyn't yuh jest warsh 'em, instaid?

WARSH...There's one I haven't heard in awhile. I went to school with a girl who "warshed" her hands. What's the origin of this? I was born and raised in SE Michigan and as far as I know, she was too.

[cyclotic]

Bobble made me remember a recent trip down south.

In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed
great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature
bothered me.  The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.
Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left.
At a "Quick Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind
the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling
at me, "You Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that
I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. 
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some
pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my
face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came
from afar.'"

Waste time = Fiddle fart
Carry = Tote

I like "well" because it can mean so many things other than a hole in the ground. "Well!" as in shock or surprise. Softly spoken denotes sadness. "Well?" as in I'm getting tire of waiting so if you don't get on the stick and get a move on, I'm going to knock you into next week. "Well." as a statement of agreement or hmm. However if you mean hmmmm with a raise eyebrow, it's "welllll." "Well," the first letter of most any sentence.
