It depends on what you call the south, "pal". You want the Civil War
definition whereby Virginia was a southern state? I lived there, too. I've
also visited lots of other places in the southern US including Georgia,
North Carolina, Alabama and Texas. I don't claim to be an "expert" about
southern accents (that's your statement, not mine) but I do know a fake
accent when I hear one.
