Southern "Urban" don't use this phrase, its used by people from the sticks
(meaning woodsie people).  Again, its the difference in saying "Tomato" and
"mater".  When is the last time you heard someone in the food store say
"$2.99/lb for maters, I ain't paying that"???

"you fin to go?" ain't proper Southern talk either...
