i’ve heard my appalachian dialect speaking grandmother use the word “quit” in the like 1700’s british sense of “to leave.” that, and she used to say that she was going to do something “directly” like “we’re going to the store, directly.” such archaic speech patterns.
the word “appalachia” is pronounced “app uh latch uh” btw
My dad emulates a deep East Texas piney woods accent. He sounds like Boomhauer if you’re not related to us, and he uses directly like that as well. I have no idea why, since no one else I know does it, but I will if I’m trying to obfuscate a deadline.

Are you telling me that “Appa-lay-cheeya” is wrong?!? /j It’s all I hear after I moved North East from Appalachia.
What about Poke? Airish?
