Where exactly is "over yonder"? Is it the same place as "back yonder"?
And what does it mean when someone tells you- "Y'ain't right", when you weren't even arguing?

That's the first word ( Sentence ) I ever heard when I was born. " Hims a good boy Haint him". Gee!! My family of red necks. In my family you married the lady and then let her meet your family. Never!! Never meet a lady and then have her meet your family and then ask to marry her. LOL!!! The worst part of rednecks is they don't know they are rednecks.

Well, I am NOT a redneck but I do live in the Appalachian Mountains and know the dialect very well.
"Over Yonder"... simply means over there... it could mean a few inches... "Your book is over yonder on the table." Or, it could be miles... "I will go over yonder to the school."
It does not mean the same as back yonder... I actually have never used or heard of "back yonder."
"Y ' ain't right" is a joking term that means you are funny... it's not a derogatory term. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong. It means you are acting crazy, funny, etc.
Hope this helps!

Over yonder is over there, not back yonder *turning around & pointing "back there"*
And "y'ain't right" just means they can't believe you said what you just did.
And if they're "fixing" to go somewhere, rest assured that nothing's broken.

Over yonder= is over there
Y'aint right= You have issues
Y'all=You all
Yep=yes
That is all I know but I can talk to my brother to find out some more.

Yonder is a unit of distance measuring a little less than apiece as is "just go down the road apiece", but abit is in between both those distances. So, going down the path to yonder is less than going down abit which is shorter than apiece. Hope that clears things up for ya.

Over yonder and back yonder are used similarly to over there and back there.
Y'ain't right is referring to your mental state, i.e. you aren't right in the head.
