For example, Southernisms: "Butter me sideways", "I'm gonna hug you in the neck", "I'm fit to be tied", "Bless your heart". Not to mention, the argument between Northerners and Southerners over what a toboggan is (a sled or a hat).

Ohio: Pop is coke, pepsi, sprite and so on. It is not soda.

Maybe not just my area but people here all say "What'ya know?" instead of 'Hi' or 'How are you?'
I find it funny, especially since I don't know anything.

I think this might be from just one small town in North East England: "come back on an eerie wig" to mean you aren't quite sure when and how you'll make it home but you'll make it happen somehow.

Proggy/proggy/proggles - I still struggle to explain this without using the word proggles - prickly?

“Well, I’ll go to the foot of our stairs” means “I’m surprised”.

“He’s like tripe at four pence” means he’s hopeless like poor quality offal.

“It’s neither nowt nor summat” means it’s neither nothing nor something - neither dreadful nor wonderful - but meh. “That new restaurant was neither nowt nor summat”.

These all all used in Yorkshire, England.

I present to you-North Carolina:

1. We freak out over an inch of snow, but a hurricane is peak entertainment/no big deal.
2. The weather is batshit insane.
3. We were (and are) "First In Flight", not Ohio.
4. Two very s****y presidents were from here, and we don't talk about them. Ever.
5. Grown adults will get into actual fights over college sports.
6. Char-Grill!
7. C h e e r w i n e

Clarification on the presidents for non-Americans/non-North Carolinians: Both Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson were born here (I can't remember who did what, but one started the Trail of Tears and the other kind of screwed up Reconstruction somehow) in addition to James Polk, who as far as I know, wasn't terrible.

I’m from Eastern North Carolina and we call the tourists “Dit Dotters” and “Do Didders” and say things like “she’s dumber than a conch”.

I'm from Michigan...when we say we're going " up north" we mean the Upper Penisula. Soda is pop here. We add an s to words, like Kroger is Krogers, Meijer is Meijers, etc.
