Yawta

You ought to

Example: "If you're lookin' for some fresh sweet corn yawta go down to the vegetable stand across from the Piggly Wiggly."

This entry was inspired by my grandmother (God rest her soul) who often started sentences with this phrase when dispensing unsolicited advice.

Note: Piggly Wiggly refers to a chain of grocery stores in the Deep South. They're few and far between these days, but the really small towns usually have one. I remember when my hometown was small enough to have one. *sigh*
