Isn’t this a proper (though redneck)way to abbreviate “ought to?”
I thought so too, at first, but typically an abbreviation means letters are removed. So maybe “ought’a”?
Reminds me of this complex contraction:1. I am going to2. I am gonna3. I’m gonna4. I’m’a
It is actually even funnier because it’s covered by a plant.
