Challo, great book and all excerpts are true. if you wish to "fit in" down South just use the phrase "fixin to" or "might could"- terrible English grammar but used frequently.

Fixin' to= intends to

Might could=there is a possibility but it's not definite... ha!

In one of the [many] battles in which Stonewall Jackson kicked Union butt, one of his generals came crying that his men [stationed on the left flank] were being hard pressed, had exhausted their ammo, and were throwing rocks. It must have been guys like you to whom Stonewall was referring when he replied to the general: "Well, then, sir, give them the bayonet!"
