I lived in Southern VA all my life. The way people talk down in Southside depends upon the education level. My dad is very southern/country when he speaks. He'll say something like, "Thems beans are right tasty, bet they cost right smart!" He's not "book smart" or highly educated, but he is pretty smart with mechanics and electronics.

Most locals don't hear an accent from me, or either accuse me of being a transplant. I usually tend to speak properly, but my accent is more prominent if I'm around a bunch of people who are not from Southern VA.
