SchifSome old English words survive in a modified form in certain regional Southern dialects like “vittles” (from victuals) and “britches” (from breeches).
You’ll hear some Southerners call a garage a porte cochere.
Some will say “touched” for a little crazy.
“No Account”
“Drawers” instead of underwear. Common in the Black community as “draws”.

Full of hicks from TN and KY that "reverse carpetbagged" North for auto jobs... how do you think we got fireworks when we were kids? The suburb of "Taylor" was always called "Taylortucky" when I was a kid. Hell, we thought Copenhagen was imported from the South!I’ve been to Detroit multiple times, Mr Pot.
