Georgia Slang!
So, you guys know I love to teach you useless expressions from "down south".
Here are some of the more common expressions/words we use in "Good old Georgia!"
Over yonder (Over there)
Ain`t (Not)
Y`all (You all)
Do what now? (What was that? or I don`t understand)
Say what now? (Same as above or What did you say?)
Y`all come back now, ya hear? (Please come again)
Fixin` to (About to do (something)
It might seem like its not usefull to know, but if you watch any movie that takes place in the southern part of the U.S.A (Forest gump, gone with the wind, slingblade, and the green mile all come to mind), you will hear these words often.

Hi Marshal.
The slang is very difficult.
But, I want to enjoy an English movie.
So, I think that the slang is necessary.
There is difference in the accent by an area.
This is defficult too.
Please teach it about an accent if there is an opportunity.
古き良きジョージアは、どんな様子だったのかな。興味あります。

これ、すごく興味あります。
スラングって、辞書にも載ってないし、
映画を見ると勉強になりますね。
スナッチとか、ものすごすぎる方言？でしたけど（笑）

Hey Guys,
Slang is a lot of fun, but difficult. It helps to watch lots of movies.
By the way...almost no one understands Brad Pitt in Snatch!
I actually watched it once with English subtitles so that I could understand!
