The Appalachian accent is also pretty horrible. East Tennessee/Western Carolina have some bad, horribly high pitched and shrill sounding accents. But it gets very pleasant sounding once you hit the foothills.


Nothing is worse than "youins" in that accent. It makes "Ya'll" seem downright aristocratic.

I once set next to a couple of female Vol fans who were scarfing down chili dogs laced with onions. They wanted to know why our band was so small. Even though I considered it an offensive question, their breath and dialect was so bad I dared not face and answer them.
