How about "That smells ugly" ?

Or something I heard someone asking their daughter on the phone "Are you being haved?" (Are you behaving?)

Can you use that in a sentence, please? I'm having some trouble with this one. Or, can you just better define "The South"?

I don't hear 'mama' & 'papa' much, but when someone calls a little boy 'daddy', it drives me nuts!

I always heard about being "snatched up"." You do that again and Ill snatch you up". Or the famous "I'll snatch you bald headed".

I also lived in Port Aransas for a good while and you often heard "you need to fish or cut bait". which is better than "sh*t or get off the pot"

And no did I miss the Famous "YA'LL"
