              That's redneck speak, not Yankee speak. Yanks say things like "fuggetabout it", and "Hey! I'm wolkin' 'ere!"
Rednecks are mostly confined to the South-Eastern part of the country. Yanks are in the Northeast. Most Americans are neither Yanks nor Rednecks.

Yep. We're 50 countries in a trench coat. We have about a dozen dialects, many occasionally incomprehensible to others. My favorite example of this is "finnabouttabe."

The English language itself is like nine languages in a trench coat. It's mainly German/Dutch & French, with some sprinkling of Latin and various other romantic languages.
