Lesson Two - Southern Speak

I am sure you realize that I can not offer up too many words at one time - we will take this nice and slow.


Arshtaters:  A staple of the Irish diet and the source of French fries.  "Ah like arshtaters, but Ah hate to peel 'em."

Ast:  To interrogate or inquire, as when a revenue agent seeks information about illegal moonshine stills.  "Don't ast me so many questions.  It makes me mad."

Attair:  Contraction used to indicate the specific item desired.  "Pass me attair gravy please."

Awduh:  A state of affairs that depends on obedience to law.  "The marshal brought law and awduh to this town."
