Y'all- Redneck version of yankee youse (Used in addressing two or more people or referring to two or more people, one of whom is addressed). I.E.-Would ya'll mind a short grammar course? Come over here youse.

And- used as a function word to indicate connection or addition especially of items within the same class or type; used to join sentence elements of the same grammatical rank or function. Represented by the symbol & .

At- used as a function word to indicate presence or occurrence in, on, or near <staying at a hotel> <at a party> <sick at heart>. Represented by the symbol @.

That's about all I can think of @ the moment, & youse wordsmiths can add from here. :)

Talkin' 'bout "recipe"? It's just gotta be French. They don't know how to spell anything...and especially can't spell "victory". But then they don't need to. :D
