    Ya’ll better watch out now y’hear? We don take kindly to that kind’a hate speech ‘round these parts. Equal weight beans and beef, you skimp out either and yain’t fixin’ chili; you might’ina even be inclined to leave for everyone’s sake.

      kind’a

      I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. “Kinda” does not mean “kind of.” “Kind of” is not the proper way to write “kinda.” They aren’t interchangeable.

      Kind’a is a contraction and specifically means kind of. Brilliant.
