THere's not much more amusing/aggrivating a sound than a non-Southerner trying to talk Southern.

My Husband had to clue in my step FIL that he wasn't being funny, he sounded offensive.

When it's done really badly it sounds like we're being made fun of.

I actually say "crack the window" myself. It simply means to open it a bit (or open it "just a crack.")

Would you literally want someone to crack the window? As in putting a crack in the window panes? We say "crack" the window to mean open the window, not break the window.
