I lived briefly in North Carolina when I was a newlywed of twenty
<snip>. I do recall a few North Carolinaisms, though:

Heard on the radio: "Ya'll is jes' as sweet as a punkin' pah!"
 
Spoken by my supervisor on the phone after work: "All the folks 
lives within hollerin' distance of the old home place."
 
Spoken by a friend of my then-husband's: "It don't make *me* no 
never mind!" <snip>

someone responded: (Sorry. Your name got snipped!)
I have heard (and used!!) all of the above phrases!!  I also 
cannot help but be amazed at the people who look at me with a 
clueless expression when I talk about something being "over 
yonder".  

moonmyst added:
I was born and raised in the deep south!!  My next door neighbor 
still flies a rebel flag over his garage!!  (and we live in an upper 
middle-class subdivision).  Most of my family and friends have 
double names (my nick name is Katie Mae).
 
and Julie stated that she's "'fixin to' go to the 'coke' machine and
buy a 'soda,'"

which reminds me (Carol again) that when I was in NC, every variety of
soda (or "pop," as I used to call it until I was corrected by the
younger generation) was a "co-cola," as in "rootbeer co-cola" or
"orange co-cola." And "bahbeque" was "poke." They evidently didn't
barbecue chicken or hamburgers or steaks, or if they did, they weren't
"bahbeque."

Carol, who supposes that her own regionalisms would be equally amusing
if she only knew what they were!
