As foolish as Tom Hunt's crackie(small dog)....from Newfoundland.
Here are a few I thought of for my neck of the woods:
Drink: no not alcohol, Pepsi, Coke, Dr Pepper etc
Nab: Lance, Toms or any packaged cracker snack
Hope: Older people said it in place of "help"
Holler: useful as verb(obviously) or noun(low lying land in said woods)
Yonder: You know North, South, East, West and over yonder
Ain't: the one everybody knows and doubles for your momma's sister
Vomick: didn't know ended in a T until 2nd grade spelling test
Baccer: Tobacco
Of course tater and mater
Reckon: I guess
Truck: had to put this in because it is either a truck or pickup never pickup truck
As Jeff Foxworthy has famously said there are many more we have south of Mason Dixon that are caused simply by the mis-hearing of the rest of the world (What accent?)
My favorite one of course is y'all. And if you are a true southerner you know it is NEVER used to refer to one person. Somebody should call Hollywood and let them know. I don't have their number.

I reckon I'll run to the store down yonder and get me a drink and a pack of Nabs.
You win. You are officially more hick than I am. I can't compete with that.
I lived in Seattle from 1973 until 1980, and it never failed to take my breath away."The mountain is out"
It means it's a clear enough day to see Mount Rainier.
Almost perfect...
That "I" at beginning of sentence made it kinda redundant.
Remember reckon replaces "I guess" as in "Q: You going out to eat Friday? A: Reckon I will"
My first memory of that "nekkid" reference is reading Joe Bob Briggs' reviews of drive-in movies.
My dad used to say, "slicker than snot on a tin roof."
Apparently, it is universally recognized that nasal mucus has a low coefficient of friction.
In Carolina we say "I", so's not to appear to be complete troglodytes. Only 3/4 troglodytes!
No no.....They are more hick than either of us will ever be!
How about......
Q: Jeet yet?
A: No, didju?
This is usually followed by heading down to the Tastee Freeze and grabbing a couple of hot dogs.
Packie= Liquor store. They used to be called Package Stores, which is where the term came from.
Bubbler (pronounced "bubblah")= Drinking Fountain.

Lol hadn’t thought about “Joe Bob Briggs’ Drive-In Movie” in a long time sir. Used to watch him every weekend. Was he on The Movie Channel or another network?
In Texas (or at least the part I live in), if someone is referring to more than one or two people, you must say "all y'all". It took me a while to figure out "y'all" didn't apply to groups of people lol.
Another phrase that confuses me is "up the road apiece". It can mean anywhere from 2 blocks to 5 miles
I quit asking, how far up the road is a piece? I'd get directions listing landmarks I'd pass. I'm a city girl (or I used to be), I need street names to find my way. Turn right at the big pear cactus does not work for me Maybe USA when they had such things as "Up All Night" with Rhonda what's-her-name? Shear?
I didn't see him much. Just enjoyed reading his reviews. I was living in SoCal at the time, and I think he was published in the LA Times. That was a newspaper, which was an analog method of news delivery.
I remember his commentary during commercial breaks was pretty funny.
I was a big fan of Joe Bob Briggs when he wrote drive-in movie reviews for the Dallas Times Herald. I also watched TNT's MonsterVision which he hosted. I loved his comments lol. Then he moved to California and kinda dropped out of sight
I don't think Californians appreciated him as much as Texans lol.Ehhh, their loss...lol He was fun to watch.I was a big fan of Joe Bob Briggs when he wrote drive-in movie reviews for the Dallas Times Herald.

Same! I've been here since 1996 and it still gets me every single time.
