What is your most frequent/favorite Southern Expression (word/saying etc.)? (or your LEAST favorite)

I like Mamma&them (yes it's all 1 word)

Pardon my foolishness, INFG, but what does, that '&them' signify?

Well, how 'bout that! We got some good ole' Southern folks on this thread!

Hoo whee! I'm fixin' to think of some good Southern words to share with y'all, but dang gummit if I cain't think of none!

Maybe if I go and git me somethin' to eat I can get to thinkin'. What do yih 'spose is brain food? Putatuhs (potatoes)? Okra? Holla-PEEN-yuhs (jalapenos)?

Sure is mighty cloudy outside, though. Sure hope there isn't a hurr'kin (hurricane) comin' up. I don't wanna worry about no flood and swalla some warter!

(I'm not trying to offend, this is just hilarious to do. I'm a Southerner, too, y'all, although I sometimes feel like I don't comply with Southern culture).
