Drives me nuts and it's usually a younger woman when they say the word "Food" and sounds like "Feud"

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.

There is a similar product in the UK referred to as "Potted Dik"

The R is the most notable.

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)

"skosh - means a little bit" any chance that came form the Japanese language. And Foxpaw's "Shibboleth , Hebrew meaning "flood, creek , ear of grain". I drive a Shibboleth Silverado, so there.....jk

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

called a catch rope in my part of the world sac creek

pronounced ketch rope

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.

I believe that skosh came from Japan to the US from service men during the Korean War. I have a book of Korean War cartoons that were in Stars and Stripes from that time. One of the cartoons has a toothpaste tube on the ground with a tank about to run over the edge of it with a GI directing the tank commander " Just a skoshi bit more" . Dad was stationed in Japan during the Korean war and he used the word skosh till the day he died.

Gimme a pinch of backer. Or a dip of snuff, never hear the word Tobacco

Corn Bread is Johnny Cake.

In Pennsylvania creeks are called runs

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.

Cottage Cheese is smearcase

Fet is fought

Ruf is a roof

Cutting a rug is dancing

Jarhead is a Marine

How about, broken mouth, Hard grass, Bumpin,

In my part of the world a cow that failed to conceive didn't settle.

How could you get good luck out of "break a leg"?

Or give encouragement with "knock yourself out"?

Then she will be "bullin" in 21 days.

never heard of hard grass or bumpin. What do those terms mean?

called a cow without teeth a broke mouth cow though
