One other thing I've noticed is that a lot of older people in the south say "Diddy" for "Daddy."  It isn't an African American thing, think Puff Diddy, but crosses all races.  

 

And if they are going to drive you to town, they'll "carry" you to town! 

@Sooner, maybe they're really saying "daddy" but it sounds like they're saying "diddy".

Yes.  To them they are saying "daddy" but they pronounce it "diddy."

Okay ... Can't resist ... How do you say Bear?  My grandfather said Bar and my other side said beer.  I say Beyer.

@Preds,  I pronounce it "bare", unless I'm singing the ballad of Davy Crockett, then it's bar... "raised in the woods so he knew every tree, killed him a bar when he was only three."

☀️...And I think to myself what a Wenderful world.☀️
