You know I'm Southern, because I'm thinking a deep fried hotdog doesn't sound too bad. Have you ever heard the KY Headhunters song that refers to a "slaw-burger, fries and a bottle of Ski?"

A Southern girl says, "Y'all can." Not most of the ones I've met. *sigh* :^)

DID: (adjective) Not alive. Usage: "He's did, Jim." Thisun ain't rite. It's not "did"...."He's day-ud Jim" if you're from Bamma. If you're from Tin-nasee it's "He's daid Jim."
You-ins is another frequently used term in Tenn. as in "Youins ain't been hrere much of late."

You (pronounced "yoo") is singular.
You (pronounced "yawl") is plural.
All of you (pronounced "all yawl") refers to a multitude.

I thought pappy was always mispronouncing that one; he would get all flustered when we "tole" him it was a "chimney". Years later I finally discovered it is actually a "chibley".
Others: "Dern tootin'", "sho'nuff", "britches" "well ah'll be...." and we eat supper in the South.
The Southern language is so colorful.
To: TheBigB
Agreed. Singular person is still "you".
"Y'all" is reserved for the collective.
"Y'all's" is possesive for the collective.
Using "y'alls" as plural is just bad grammar in these parts.

Has tarnation been explained? Like "what in the tarnation is that?" (I'm thinking it's short for "the entire nation"?)

One of the joys of my life is listening to old hillbillies talking...
shed: Rid of "He got shed of that girl purty quick when his missus found out."
and one my grandfather (Tenn) used: "Them jaspers" = crooks.
"Them jaspers stole that propitty clear as day."

Good ones. You must have watched the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
Hey, on the way back from my father-in-law's house the other day, Lynyrd Skynyrd came on the radio.
My wife was cracking up when I was getting our 3-year-old daughter to say:
"Hey, how bout playing sum Skynyrd, mayun!"
To: kenth
Yes, "yuns" is "you ones."
We also do a lot of figuring here too - "Ah figure so" = "I agree" or a different meaning would be, "Ah figured she got a hitch in her git along" = I think she has bee in her bonnet" (or are bees in bonnets also Southern?).

What is pural for y'all?It's singular or plural just as "you" can be either.
To: TheBigB
In that case, "yalls'es" would be plural possessive. I think. :^)
Plural possessive? We don't know nothin bout that.
Nurse said, "Is that urine?" Boy said, "Naw that ain't none-a-mine, that's his'en."
Pronunciations depend on which Southern State you are from.
