In some locations, "fixin to" has morphed into "fiddinda".

I can use it either way, it just depends on how highfalutin I want to sound.

Anyway, I'm fiddinda go eat, jeet yet?

I ain't quite sure about all that, but as someone who has carried a slop bucket or two I can say if you get on uneven ground and that bucket gets ta swangin', you ain't never seen a wave the size that's fiddnda come back and slosh your laig.

[weldingisfun]

If you meet some one and they say, "Howdy", it is perfectly okay to respond with, "I'm fine, thank you". Because what that person actually said was the shortened version of, "Howdeedo", which is the shortened version of, "How do you do?"
That is Texas south speak.

Here's a fun little test that's in the spirit of this thread.

Are You a Yankee or a Rebel? - alphaDictionary * Southern Accent Test

If you google rebel or a Yankee test there are several that come up and if you answer honestly they usually are pretty close as to where you grew up .

My results usually come up about 55% dixie and since I'm about 50 miles south of the Mason Dixon line that's pretty darn close.

Yes, the only difference around here it was hotter than a $2 pistol.. but I guess our stolen pistols are a little cheaper:laughing: but our boar "teets" are still worthless and any boar found in a peach orchard is pretty darn crazy!:laughing:
