My aunt used to say, "Just call me PP, I'm all your'n".I missed #5 too.
These are simply Southernisms, and some of them aren't even that. Having family on both sides of the Mason-Dixon helps, as does interest in language.
I larnt the word your'n here in Appalachia (yours, from "your one"). Come to find out it's actually older in English than the contemporary yours. Summa these phrases are linguistic time capsules.
