Redneck

One of my Darija language teachers caught me using the word "y'all". He stopped the lesson, beamed, and proudly exclaimed: "YOU ARE A REDNECK!!" He was so excited and begged me to help him learn some new phrases. His dream is to become a redneck and he has even memorized redneck jokes. On his own, he has mastered "y'all come back now". Tonight we worked on "ain't", dropping the 'g' from words (eg: goin', eatin'), "gonna", "fixin' to", and turning one syllable words into 2 syllable words (eg: pen --> pe-en).
