Haha! I love this. My favorite is:
The core crash left him blonde and pearlized.
Translation: The car crash left him blind and paralyzed.
Also--Adam Balm: Atom bomb.
Of course, these are hillbillyisms, which I do love.

To confuse Yankees more, there are dual usage words as well.
"The crick is just on the other side of the holler."
"Boy, holler to the neighbor and see can we borry they shovel."

I still say yu'uns (you-uns). Not sure where it comes from, it's just always been a part of our language.
"Yu'uns go down yonder and git a co-cola."
To: IamConservative
Yup. :)
MAYNAISE: (noun) Not "Mayonnaise." Colloquialism. Ex. "Maynaise a whole lotta folks hyar tonight!"
In Yankee: "Man, there's a whole lot of folks here tonight!"

Or as a foreigner once told me, the first two words in English that he heard (on a visit to the US) were: "Jeetjet? Squeet."

Every once in a while, I run into some one who uses the "what I did," phrase at the end of a sentence.
"I put new tires on my pickup last week, what I did..."
To: FlatLandBeer
y'all IS plural. It refers to a group of people. Any other usage (as in a Yankee gal on TV using a pretend Southern accent to say "you all" when referring to one person) is silly and not real.

My favorite - for many reasons, primarily the cold beer.
Sensuous. "Sensuous up, could you get me a beer?"

I truly hope they haven't brought dowm that Yankee fear of the wild animals that abound in these parts.
No, in fact, one of the things my sister likes is that everyone IS so polite and courteous. Her kids go to a private school and they're required to use "Yes m'am and Yes sir".
On another note--- neither she, nor I would need to pick up those "Southern niceties" cuz our folks "raised us right".
To: Phantom Lord; Fierce Allegiance; cyborg; stainlessbanner
Here's one of my favorite Southernisms that my grandma uses all the time:
"mommicked up".
It means "messed up" or "torn up".
To: cyborg
Yes, I love the sayings, like "He's ten pounds of s--t in a five pound bag.

To: Smartaleck; Billthedrill
In dramatic situations, it's acceptable to add "far" (fire) to the end of the expression.
Ex. "Sheeee-yet far, Newt, she's headin' fer the briar patch again!"
