DD: In the fourth grade classes that my mother taught in Knoxville, 
TN, way back in the years of segregated schools, at a white lower 
socio-economic class public school, the simple expression for the 
guilty was, when accused, "Ain't done." She thought there was a 
slight "t" sound at the end and it meant, "I ain't done it." e.g. 
"Young man, have you done your homework?" "Ain't done." However, it 
was also used in the exchange; "Who threw that spit ball?" Class in 
unison, "Ain't done."
