Moonshine!! Definitely southern! We just had a guy arrested for that a few months ago. And y'uns is real prevalent in the NC mountains. Not many people here say ya'll. And a few years ago we went to a concert in Hot-lanta and saw the Black Crowes and first thing he said when he jumped up on stage was "how happy I am to be back with y'uns". My dh and I looked at each other are cracked up!

I am curious to see where else it is said. The people in Tenessee weren't quite in the mountains but fairly close (about 30 miles away) so maybe it is an Appalachian thing?
That's what I was thinking, but my dad was from a very hillbilly town in WV and they didn't say it. Lol, I can't believe I hadn't asked this before now!

The bolded items are prevalant in the North also, so you might want to scratch them from your list.
