Top Ten Stereotypical Southern US Slang Terms

These are phrases that people think everybody in the south say. I'm not country but I admit I say three of these

The Top Ten

1 Y'all

That's why many of these make Texas sounds like Texas. It might by stereotypical (as cowboys and other things make Texas Texas and there might be other U.S. state use this accent), but Texas is in south.

This always sounds to me like it will precede "gonna die". Particularly with that raunchy accent.

I say this like most people in the south

From Virginia and still say this.

2 High Falutin'

I say this every once in a while

3 What in Tarnation?

I say this every time I get surprised

4 Git R Done

5 Beg yer Pardon?

6 Soups On

7 Yee-haw!

I'm automatically saying all these words in the most hillbilly voice possible... Y'all

8 Howdy Partner!

9 Willy Nilly

10 Hoedown

The Contenders

11 Bull

12 Rootin' Tootin'

13 Honey Sue

14 Purty

When you pronounce Pretty as Purty. It's not a saying, but still.
