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
