Pa were you from with this list?
In Atlanta but lived in DC, North Jersey, California, Chi, and Rhode Island. Born outside of the country (military) I have no accent, just mix slangs into my speech. I guess GA since both of my folks are from down here and that’s household I was raised in. I know the moes, slims, fakin and ji like from DC, the get in the cahh and wicked from New England, weirdos and homies from Cali, Joe, bogus and pop from the Chi and son and smd from the Tri-State. When I hung in Bmore going to hammerjacks was like being in a foreign country the way them folks was talking up in there.
 
Slightly related...

I've been "terminally online" for a while. Did meet up with folks from another site.

This meet up was with all white folks. Like, pretty sure I was the only black guy there...anywhos...

During my time at the meet up, the group would mockingly say "right quick" all the time. I used right quick all the time as well...it was just my vernacular. "Let me do this right quick"..."lemme go grab this right quick" etc...

I never...EVER...heard how poorly it sounded in terms of the "king's english" until I got around them and heard them mocking it.

A big part of me died that day.

I dont say right quick too much these days, but still every now and again.
