Sure don't

[Bethany K. Dumas]

>FWIW, my impression is that I was not familiar with "Sure don't" in NYC.
When I noticed it in Tennessee in 1974 I first thought it was meant
humorously.

I am reasonably certain that I have heard/said "sure don't/etc." all my
life (TX, AR, MO, LA, TN - and also London!).
