I've also heard of people mixing leave and let, which is another one I've never actually experienced.

I guess one good thing about woke is that people have become more descriptivist about grammar. Kids are (I think) being taught more that dialect-specific vernacular isn't WRONG, just nonstandard English.

The town was named after Delhi, India, in honor of founder Ebenezer Foote, who was known as "The Great Mogul". The pronunciation is attributed to Foote's rival Erastus Root, who reportedly exclaimed upon learning of the town's name, "Delhi, Hell-high! Might as well call it Foote-high."[4] An alternate explanation of its pronunciation and namesake is due to its location, high on the Delaware River.[3]

Especially funny with shitlib transplants who got forcibly relocated by their NE megacorp overlords to Nashville, Tallahassee, Dallas, etc.

What's funny to me is people who think words like ain't are distinctly southern or distinctly black when they were recorded first in England many centuries ago. To wit much of what we attribute to southern or black culture in speech and lexicon comes from poor people from England a million years ago. We should get John McWhorter to do a guest poast about this.

that's about it

Others that could be perceived as generally southern but are in fact white:

sir/ma'am

directly (soon)

old lexical devices related to hunting, fishing (hotter n blue blazes, varmint, that dog won't hunt, fine as frog's hair) but not really used in everyday conversation you're just expected to understand and agree

Yanks REALLY like "y'all"

Personally I don’t mind “could care less” cause it sounds better. Rolls off the tongue cleaner. But let’s not pretend it isn’t prole.
