You haven't heard I-talian lol? It is frigging hilarious, it is pretty rare though.

Another cool southern slang which I have been picking up at UVA is "y'all". One of my friends is from nashville and it funny, because once he was talking to me and asked me what "y'all" are doing today. I turned around to notice he was referring to only me. When I started laughing about it, he told me that the appropriate pluralization of "y'all" is "all y'all" which is amazing loll.
Ending a sentence in "loll" is definitely a lot more highbrow than saying "y'all."
