I am Southern, but not Southern, you know? I don't have a glaring accent, except when I say words such as "rural," "yall," or (the worst) "boiled peanuts." But then sometimes, things just pop out. Like tonight, when my roommate commented about how she can't taste the taste of spicy food through the spiciness. To which I replied, "I don't think I..." and then I just kinda fell silent, because I was actually, in a real live conversation, going to use the expression "ustacould." How does something like that happen? And in looking up the correct (or at least most widely accepted) spelling for "ustacould," I found a website promoting the awareness of "yallbonics" - the phrase made me crack up laughing.
But seriously...ustacould?

"Yallbonics"?! Too funny!
I have to admit, it took me several seconds and I even had to say "ustacould" out loud before I knew what you were talking about :)

I was working with one of my students over the summer and she kept playing the wrong note. I leaned over and actually touched the button she had to push and said, "Mash THIS one, guys, THIS one." I was immediately aghast...mash? I was channeling Grandma!
