I've got m'self a good Texas drawl of sorts. I speak slower and sound half-asleep at times But it's part of my philosophy of speaking clearly so I can get my points across. I'm also big on "howdy" (sup Aggies~), "ya'll" and what-not.

I'm pretty sure it is a southern-only thing. I said it once (as have relatives/friends) and it always confuses folks from elsewhere.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
