"Cloff" would drive me crazy! Around here we mostly just drag out vowels (my name, Anne, becomes a few syllables  ), round off word endings (darlin') and slow things down a bit. I've lived in the upstate (Spartanburg and now Clemson) for four years and thankfully I've never heard anyone talk like that!
impossible to do!

Omg, yeah a lot of those words are more mountain. Try going around North Greenville College, or near Anderson, SC. I have heard a lot of super duper southern accents since I have been in Florence, SC.
