Did you "cut off/out" the lights? This one is more ghetto slang than regional, started hearing it when I was in the Army.

I guess ghetto could be considered a region. Hmph

Can't really think of anything. I say thinger when I can't think of what something is called. But that isn't a regional thing. I picked that up from my mother.

As a WVian, I can personally attest to this one. I actually got into an argument with a friend of mine over pronouncing the town of Hurricane as it is supposed to, over how the locals say it (the aforementioned "hurr-i-kin").

Another one is Ronceverte. I would say "Ron-ce-ver-tay" going with the French), but others have said "Ron-ce-vert."

Ugh, just don't get me started on Southern pronunciation.
North Carolina has some great ones too - best I can think among them being Rutherfordton, pronounced (basically) Rofft'n. I suppose it makes sense though, a whole bunch of us are descended from transplanted Brits who think Leicester should be pronounced 'Lester'.

Does "eh" count? Because if so...that's mine.

whats odd, is that its written "Eh" but most Yoopers/Canadians/Wisconsonites I've met, usually pronounce it with a long A, so it comes out more like Ay.

According to my wife, "Eh" is more an Ontario thing, and she says it's not commonly used in the Maritimes (she's from Halifax, NS). They do have some weird stuff, like "sook", which means whiner, cry baby, or big baby, and can be used either with either good or bad connotations. She calls our pets sooks on a regular basis, usually in the "oh, poor big baby beast" way, as opposed to "you whining idiot" way.

"The Devil's beating his wife with a frying pan." (referring to rain falling while the sun is shining)

I've never figured out the etymology of that one.

Vind - both, I think. Not sure which branch of the family tree was being represented when I learnt 'em.
