I just read thru all this thread. My Dh use to say Turtle Hull but now has stopped after a lot of years. Use to know a guy that ended every sentence with "you mighty right." This one gets me really bad- "Ain't go no" Southerners have a tendency to draw out there words where up northerners they talk faster. But I have found that new englanders talk slower. After 30 years in a flower shop & talking wire orders from all over you can tell where most folks are from. I talked to a lady from Beaufort , SC one time & I like to have never figured out what she was saying. Her draw was really intense. It's funny because Californians can alway tell a Texan. Jeff Foxworthy has a book on funny sayings fro the south. It is hilarious.
