And it's pronounced "worsh" Mike Only in parts of the south. There's at least three different accents in just Alabama. And that's just among the white folks. My original accent did not have a hard R.

Danny is right. We called light weight steers doggey’s with a long O. A cow close to calving is called a springer. A cow that missed becoming pregnant is open. A heifer that didn’t breed is barren Old thin cows are called shelly cows or canners. A rope was called a lariat or just a rope on our place. Rarely used the term lasso

The R is the most notable.
Sir
Suh- south Alabama (listen to Jeff Sessions) Sirr- north Alabama particularly the mountains Siruh- west Alabama and flatwoods Mississippi (where they drink Aruh Cee cola, listen to Jerry Clower) I had to Google that one; "mountains" of Alabama. I never knew there was that much topographical relief in Alabama. Not necessarily what I'd call mountains, but much more interesting countryside than I imagined.

My original accent did not have a hard R. I didn't necessarily mean Alabama... But yes I get you. Dad was stationed in GA when I was a tike... And I have friends and coworkers from a lot of states in the deep south... GA, AL, MS, and LA. So I am familiar with "carrying" someone or "cutting the lights on." Weirdest accent I ever heard was a guy that was born and raised part of his life in North Carolina and the other part of his life in NOLA... You'd swear he was from Jersey but his long A's and R's were different. Mike
