My M-I-L is Norwegian from Minnesota, and she gave me a rundown on all the Uffda variants:

Uffda -- General expression for something not going exactly as you wish it did.

Feeda -- Said when you do something really bad, like dropping your wallet in the outhouse hole.

Ishda -- Reserved for situations really awful, like going after that wallet.

Yes, I do remember...

How about "talls" that you dry thangs with?

Lock: like. "He locks 'er."

Or "tho" as in "Tho the bowel, Sissy."

Pitcher: "All y'all goin to the pitchers? To see Mail Gibson?

And we never called it soda, it was "pop."

My 17 year old son grew up despising the southern speech. He learned his talk habits from movies and suchlike. He and I drove out west and north for a couple of months through Ohio and Illinois and Oklahoma before we came back to the southland. Our first stop back in God's country for more than gas was at an all-night diner in Mississippi at 4 AM. We had been driving for 9 hours and were tired.
There were no other customers . The waitress sashayed over to where we sat, smiled, and said," Good morning, sugar, would yall like some breakfast?" in the very finest slow Mississippi accent and looked at my boy. He melted. Later he told me that was the sweetest sound he had ever heard. Sounded like he was home.
