The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek

One branch of the Flint family has been in California since the gold rush, they are a pretentious bunch of bastards, the women being the worst of course...at one notable family gathering, the women were bemoaning the erosion of the language, customs and politeness since the Okie invasion of the great depression. My father, having enough of it, (it, being snobbery and whiskey) mentioned the Mexicans had been here since 1769 and they probably had a dim view of the treasure seekers... and then he recited a couple of lines of doggerel...
"The miners came in '49, the whores in '51, and when they got together, they made a native son". We were never invited to another reunion.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Never worried about any of it except
for those out of staters that criticize
the way things have been done here
successfully for generations.
They say jeeze yooze guys and
yoo bechah and such as that.
Talk about how techsuns can't drive
in the cold, then run off in the bar ditch
because it's ice and not snow
Drec-lee = in a quick fashion
Ice box = refrigerator
coke box = cold drink dispensing machine
for any flavor of drink
Shove-lay house = Chevrolet dealership
Ford house = Ford dealership
Dodge house = Chrysler Plymouth dealership
Skil saw = any brand of circular saw
Dressin = a dish made with crumbled yellow
cornbread and chopped onions and bell pepper
and bits and pieces of cooked poultry and
a quadruple handful of ground sage and
black pepper and some salt and broth from
boiling the neck and wings and giblets of
the fowl
Ham meat = ham
Many more- not enough space

The worst current Hollywood rendition of a southern accent is Lucas Black in NCIS - New Orleans. I won't even watch that show because of it.
And he was born in Alabama of all places!

When Al Gore introduced himself to me, he had more accent than when on TV.

When I was in Mississippi in the late 1970s I heard the strangest one to me. Bunch of guys at coffee break ribbing a young man about. Going out and getting some cock.
I thought it was strange that all these guys were cool with a queer. Turned out that was local for pussy. Edk Very common usage in southern Ontario when I was quite a bit younger.

All y’all Yankees don’t understand English? We all laffin’! Kinda doubled up there? miles I hear more black people say All y'alls than white Southerners. Seems improper to me too.

Quite a few of those early 49ers were farm boys from Missouri and Kentucky. Hell, any "49er" family in California that looks down on Okies is probably looking down on their own cousins.

OP, you forgot about "fixin'". I'm fixin' to smoke some bbq......
You Northerners would freak out on a visit to South Louisiana, South of I-10 that is. I used to hang out with a good friend of mine who's dad owned a little marine supply store and boat ways on Dickinson Bayou. It took this Panhandle boy a pretty good while to figure out what those coon ass shrimpers were saying.
