I wonder if there's a translator to the US southern accent?
Not quite a translator but here's a useful dictionary.

Growing up in rural NC, I can definitely relate to many of these "words."
Like these:
Bob War - Something to be careful of when cow tipping.
Anar - Useful rhyme for car, "I betca my car can do over 150 miles anar"
Britches - Something you "hold on to" when in a car doing over 150 miles anar.
Liberry - A place for some powerful tinking or cyphering.
Merlin - Southern state named after a fella in some ole' English legend.
