A person who speaks with a drawl; someone whose characteristic speech pattern involves prolonged vowel sounds.
Formed from drawl with the agent noun suffix '-er,' which creates nouns meaning 'one who does X.' The term became common in the 19th century to describe people with distinctly drawled speech.
Famous drawlers like politicians and actors sometimes emphasized their drawls strategically because studies show drawling speech is perceived as more trustworthy and authoritative—a linguistic power move that's been used for centuries.
