Subject: Can you translate Southern?

How many of these words from the Southern dialect can you translate into “standard English”? Here is a hint: The words on this list that have an exact counterpart in “Standard English” don’t necessarily have the same meaning. For example “lights” in “Southern” means lungs (usually pig lungs)

BTW if you can not translate "Dreckley" and "chittlins" I would most certainly question whether or not you are truly Southern!
