Elrod, let me correct your 3rd person pronouns.

The 2nd/3rd person singular/plural is "Y'all. (can be one or more other people)

The 3rd person plural/plural is "All Y'all". (must be a whole bunch of other people)

Does that come directly from the redneck dictionary?

I have to share this with All Y'all...I have become addicted to the show "Moonshiners".   It is amazing to me that a show, set in America, produced by an American company, with Americans speaking english, requires english subtitles.  There are times on that show that I would not know what is going on if the subtitles were not there.

Rita, are those your clients?

I'm a Brooklyn Boy living outside of Boston where sometimes the translation of what I say doesn't get thru, like "card" they think I'm talking about a fish, or "coffee" they think I said cough- fee (maybe I need sub titles).  They laugh at me and I say "don't make fun of the way I torque."  

Happy New Year everyone!  We'll torque again next year.

I didn't know Nebraskans had an accent either. Where exactly is "deepest darkest" Nebraska? Arkansas? :)

I was in a grocery store in Newfoundland one time, guy in front of me was talking away in supposedly English - I honestly didn't understand a single word. They can have such a think Irish accent that it's darn near impossible to comprehend them in some rural towns.

The funniest accent misadventure I ever saw was MANY moons ago.  I was working (college era) in a small restaurant owned and mostly staffed by folks from Greece.  Popular with truck drivers.  We had a guy come in, truck driver from down south, and order haddock.  'Cept the way he said it, it came out not quite right.  Imagine the "a" in "hat" and now say HA-dock.  Well, the young Greek-speaking man taking the order heard the driver say ("y" as consonant here, not vowel) HYA-dog.  (Only two syllables, not hi-yah-dog.)  That's the way he pronounced "hot dog."  Driver was NOT happy when his haddock came out as hot dogs.  I had to go over and translate English to English for them and get it fixed.  Fish, not franks!
