Yeah, here it is 5:30 AM and i'm still up listening to an Utada Hikaru album I haven't heard before and I come across

Language localisms: I live in the coastal southeast territory known as Georgia, so there are more butcherings of pronunciations than I can count - and I can count quite high... I'm just lazy. Things range from A number of people like to be brash and refer to the bathroom as a "crapper", Most will substitute "Coke" for any carbonated beverage. This leads to much annoyance when trying to be nice and get them a drink. "Ya'll" - the contraction of "you all" is rampant as children's cavities halfway through November.
The list could go on, but I am weary and my mind is refusing to accommodate me with more examples of the local idioms of speech. Basically, assume the steriotypical southern slang, replace some with vally-girls, and throw in a touch of spanglish. Good times.
Now with more MEME!!

Well, I've already drawn at least one of those combinations... I do love trying new things though ;)
