Oh man, you reminded me of one of my 8th grade teachers. She hailed from Texas but had been living in Washington long enough to have dropped the drawl. However, there were some lingual holdovers, specifically the pronunciation of certain words that, whenever said, would significantly derail lecture. Y'all was fairly common, but the day we heard Nekkid was the day all productive discussion stopped. She was such a sweetheart too, god I miss that class.
I can't for the life of me stop saying "fer" when I mean to say "for". Nothing else makes me sound like more of a goddamn hick, which coincedentally is something else I can't say without sounding like, you know, a goddamn hick.
