To pronounce "horseshit" with a Southern twang in 2026, follow these phonetic adjustments typical of the dialect:
  • The "Horse" (Haws/Ho-uhs):
    • Drop the 'R' or soften it: In many coastal or old-school Southern accents (non-rhotic), the 'r' is almost entirely omitted, making the first syllable sound like "haws".
    • Draw out the vowel: The "o" becomes a "breaking" vowel (Southern Drawl), turning into two syllables: "ho-uhs."
  • The "Shit" (Shee-it):
    • The Southern Breaking: The short "i" sound (/?/) in "shit" often undergoes "vowel breaking." Instead of a quick "shit," it becomes two syllables: "shee-it".
    • Gliding Sound: Transition slowly from a high "ee" sound to a soft "uh" or "ih" sound before hitting the final "t."
  • The "T" (Glottal Stop or Soft T):
    • In many Southern variations, the final "t" is either swallowed (a glottal stop) or turned into a very soft, breathy release rather than a crisp "t".

Phonetic Approximation:
  • "HAWS-shee-it" (Standard Southern)
  • "HORS-shee-ut" (Inland/Appalachian, where the 'r' is kept but the second word is still drawn out).
