Hmm...
This was more of the 'hick' accent, than just a general Southern.
'usetocould'- I never have heard that phrase in all my life.
Y'all- not Ya'll. Contraction. You All. Pronounced 'yawl'.
But I's just a dum Southerner who cain't do nuthin' but rub what few braincells I have togither, right?
We ain't edumacated like you Yanks. 9_9

he doesn't say y'all right. and i never have said 'right quick'. i do say 'fixin', like as in 'i'm fixin to do something.......'. i have to say, i hate listening to someone who doesn't have a southern accent trying to say y'all. it just makes my skin crawl.

@VickyGoss well, that makes sense. most of the people that came to the south were scots/scots-irish. they were on run from an english gov't that didn't want them there.

Actually the Southern accent is heavily influenced by the Ulster Scots/ Scots-Irish. They Northern Irish notice this when visiting the US Southern States and have commented on it.

Is it just me... Or do Northerners not realize how unprapper their cammun speech sounds to others? (I spelled those words incorrectly on purpose.) There is no "correct" way to speak...
And to everyone commenting on "ye all": If you'll notice, he pronounced it correctly the whole time until he said, "pronounced as 'ye all'". It makes more sense to say that it was originally "ye all" than "you all." It's an old contraction, though no one uses the "ye all" pronunciation.

LMAO! I love it! I'm southern born and bred, from the great state of Alabama. (Well, it's great to us.) While this video is good for some belly laughs, it's also very educational. But, I have to correct you. Y'all is pronounced as one syllable. "Yawl", not "yee-aw". Other than that, keep up the good work! :D

I'm not even from the south and I never heard anybody say ye aw. Every body I know says it Y'all. If you got the word ye aw off of Wikipedia you better do a little more research than that son. Cause it says verification needed.
Oh, and just for further educational purposes, a true southern man would never say "Hand me that thar bandage". He would most definately say "Go git me the duck tape!!!". Trust me on this one.
