As a "Northern Girl" I figure this is good to know when visiting relatives that have recently relocated to the South. They've been there less than two years and already use much of the local lingo.

I had a N'yawk accent until I served in the military and spent some time with a lot of Southerners and in the South. while I haven't adopted the accent in full...I do use a lot of the phraseology. (Some how or another, it is now important that when I use you to refer to multiple people, I specifiy that I mean them all.) Its a great way to communicate.

WIDJEHDIJEH: (noun)verification. Ex. "Hey, you dint brang your ranch widjehdijeh?

in Yankee: "Hey, you didn't bring your wrench with you, did you?"

On a more contemporary note, why is it so difficult for Southerners to pronounce "Shi'ite?"

They've been there less than two years and already use much of the local lingo.

I sincerely hope that by now they have also picked up those other Southern niceties such as saying things like; "Please, Thank You and Excuse me" and I truly hope they haven't brought dowm that Yankee fear of the wild animals that abound in these parts.

I'm still trying to figure out what 'yuns' stands for, as I've heard it multiple times since moving to the N. GA mountains (including western NC). I'm from Oklahoma so I use y'all all the time. You all, simple. But not 'yuns'. I'm thinking it means 'you ones', which doesn't make much sense grammatically, but fits. The first time I heard this was the first time I saw someone order a deep fried hot dog and have it slathered with cole slaw.
