Southern accents are some of the most distinctive in the U.S. — and, to my ear, some of the most melodic, although there is nothing sweet about a Yankee attempting to mimic a southern drawl. (I’m looking at you, Dulé Hill, aka Larry Siefert).
But while Southern accents should never be appropriated by anyone born north of the Mason-Dixon, Southern slang is a different story all together. After all, Southern speech is both convenient — why use a bunch of words when a contraction will do? — and colorful.
Here are 10 of my favorite sayings. I guarantee you’ll be rarin’ to use them because they’re awesome.
