There's a street in Austin named "Bob Wire."

The THANK = THINK caused Lil' M problems when he was learning to spell.

Since we're talking pronunciation, my pet peave is people who pronounce pecan like pee-can. Folks a pee can is an empty coffe can one takes on a long car trip. A pecan (pu-con) is the main ingredient in Southern baking.

In that case, "yalls'es" would be plural possessive. I think. :^)

Another one I've heard as an exclamation: "Well, s--t far (fire) and save matches!"

I think it would be "you'uns". At least that's how my Granny used to say it. I remember the old people back in the Tennessee hills used to say "thee" or "thee'll" for "you" or "you will". That was a long time ago though and things do change.

Laugh - as a midwest girl - married to a North Carolinian southern gentleman.. the two that he uses that I still have to think about are:

pin - this can either be a straight pin.. safety pin.. or INK PIN..

yonder - basically anywhere but here..
Me: "Honey - where did you put the screwdriver?"
Him: "It's in yonder"...
?!?!? Yonder could be anywhere from the junk drawer (this from my Chicago roots..there was a thread on Chicagoese a few days ago) to the car...

The difference between a Northern girl and a Southern girl is:
A Northern girl says, "You can."
A Southern girl says, "Y'all can."

Funny I was discussing ebonics with a friend this weekend, briefly. While we were watching the old Monogram film, 'King of the Zombies,' Mantan Moreland (one of my favorite actors) and an african american young lady become a bit of a couple. They have a few scenes together, mostly played for laughs. Their scenes would, by and large, be considered racist today because of their exagerated speech pattern, idioms they use, etc.

To be fair, the depiction is not very flattering, but I did remark that while their speech pattern was exagerated and based on a poor racial sterotype, you could at least understand them, and they had a better command of the english language than maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the modern african american population. Wild!

"All y'all." Or so I was told by a dear friend when I visited him in West - no, sorry, "West By God" Virginia.

WRENCH: (verb) To flush with water. Usage: "I'll be in soon's I wrench muh hayunds."

If one uses soap during the wrenchin' it would be: "I'll git thar soon's ah warsh muh hayuns."
