Yall is also a much used Southern word around here! I'm from New York, and have only picked up on some of the dialogue in the south. One I particularly like is Yourin? Not sure of the spelling yet its another unique word.
Drive safely! Better you than me having to travel that distance. Yet you will love it here! Great location being half way between ocean/mountains and the change of seasons! It's like a dream. Welcome home!

When I was at the DMV to get my new driver's license, and I needed an ATM, the clerk told me to go "Catty Corner" - !!! I didn't know what the heck she meant, as was apparent I guess by the look on my face and flapping jaw, so she then said, "diagonally across the street, there is a gas station. I think they have an ATM."

Catty Corner is just more efficient!
