Hillary goes southern drawl again


“I gotta tell you,” Hillary said with a distinct drawl, “I loved coming to Memphis in the past.

“You know, I didn’t live too far away for a long time, just across the river. Do we have anybody from Arkansas here toniiiiight?” she asked.

“Now, after the 2008 election, then president-elect Obama called me and asked me to come see him in Chicagooooo,” Clinton said.

Yat

The sidebar at Ace's has an item on Yat New Orleans accent that sounds like Brooklyn and I'm all, yeah, what up wi' dat?

The link is not so useful as hearing it so I searched on YouTube and listened to Mehrvigne, a woman who turns out to be good at explaining and delivering just by talking but, good as she is,  and for reasons my own I found her grating and somewhat annoying and going on with a list of specific common regional words and their uses, finally too much. She begins, "We don't ask, 'how are you doing?' or 'how is it going?' instead we ask, 'where yat?' meaning where are you at in life, thus Yat."

In comments someone remarks, "if you want a serious Yat accent look at user cleverdude, so I did. Sorting through cleverdude's videos I see a lot of interesting things and... hummingbirds!

Oops, hummingbird videos do not have dialogue, have a cleverdude banana video instead.
