What's a "made-right?"
According to my friend, who is originally from Indiana, "made-rights" are the same as sloppy joes. I had never heard of this and still to this day have not heard another person say this. I'm of the advertising influence where a "manwich" is a meal.

I'm from Tennessee and "ain't" falls from my lips if I'm not thinking about what I say. "Fixing to" as well, but it sounds like "finna."
"I'm finna go to the sto. You need sump'in?"
Luckily, I can lessen my southern accent when neccessary. Another strange thing is when I write, the words flow in perfect English.
