Speaking of soft drinks, I used to love stopping at Max's Country Store every time I visited my Grandparents to get a Nugrape. :)

proper initial salutation in Georgia is "Hey"That "hey is a longer word than a yankee might think from looking at it; more like "haayy" and maybe without the "h" .

Shoulda seen the look on my Sister's Sunday School teacher's face when Sis (age 10) told her to "kiss my @ss." Mom had to do some fancy talking to get her outta that one. LOL

My personal favorite is "Well, f*** me runnin'."
When my Grandfather was impressed by something, he would say, "Well ats slicker than greased owl sh**."

When I was little my immediate family would take car trips with my mom's parents in tow (we had a van...it was actually more fun than it sounded. We went back and forth to California, Canada, and Florida) Whenever my Grandmother would invariably announce she had to pee, Granddad would tell her, "Swaller it!"

Yes, even in the same state. I've lived in coastal Ala-Miss-Lou most of my life Southern Louisiana has half a dozen or more distinct accents. There is Cajun, Creole, French (Golden Meadow) outside of New Orleans and several more in that city including one with Spanish roots (not counting the swarms of mexicans, these are old line Spanish folks. Further north it sounds like Mississippi or Texas and on up at the top it's like Arkansas.

"y'all" is collective. "all y'all" is plural. And Y'all's is possesive.
Is that Y'all's house?

"Is "wear you out" a Southern thing-as in your momma telling you "I'm gonna' wear you out" (spank) if you acted up in church."I heard it first from an Alabama girl. She also used "croaker sack" for gunnysack. (frogs, I'm sure...)

Yes, it's quite amazing to hear. Don't forget the "Yats"(as in wher yaat?) around "Met-tre" and the "nint ward". They seem to have some of that Joyisey accent.

"I remember when I was a car salesman and a customer on a test drive asked me "What happens if I mash this button?" I replied, if you mash it you will break it, but if you press it, it will turn on the air conditioning."Also, "mashin' bumps" means squeezing zits or blackheads...

Are you going to collect all of the other submissions into one large compendium?

I am an echoer. I have never really had my own accent. I spent the summer in Waldoboro with my granddadddy when I was 14. After I got home to Virginia my mother gave me fits for a week about how I had forgotten how to talk. After 3 weeks all I retained was "ayuh" and "ayup." I still have that.

I remember a fellow in Charleston SC (when I was 5) named Wretched. My mother (not from around there) thought that was truly rude of his parents to name him that.
