Some are Maine specific, some are New England.

Ayuh. Aparently hard for non-Mainers to pronounce correctly. Used in place of yup, yes, or I agree. Usually found in groups of three to indicate agreement or familiarity with the point someone's trying to make. Speaker A: "The rich get richer while the poor get more plentiful" Speaker B: "Ayuh, ayuh, ayuh."

Sprill. Pine needles no longer attached to a branch. "My carpet was covered in sprills after we took down the christmas tree."

Wicked. Synonymous with very much, or, awesome/great. "Man that was a wicked guitar solo." "I broke my arm and it hurts wicked bad."

Stove. Synonyms are dented, banged, smashed: "I stove my boat up wicked fierce on the dock."

Camp. (Not so sure about this being a local thing or not, but I heard it was). Cottage. "My family has a camp on the lake."

Hitch over = Move/scoot over. (Not certain as it being a local only thing).

Cunning. Cute. "That's a cunning girl you got there."

Elastic. Rubber band. "I rolled up those posters and put elastics on them."

Italian. A sub sandwich with cold cuts. "Amatos in Portland was the birthplace of the Italian."

Masshole. Derogatory term for someone from Massachusetts, "The guy ahead of me was a horrible driver, I could tell he was a Masshole before I even looked at his plate.

Bob Marley claims quite a few phrases as "Maine phrases," that I know are not Maine specific, but he's still a decent source for Maine humor. Tim Sample is too. And you can't be a Maine comedian without making fun of the Maine accent and Maine sayings.

I don't use them, but I know a few that are relatively specific to Western Pennsylvania -

Red Up - Clean up. "Red up the kitchen before Mom comes over."

Gumband - Rubber band.

Yinz - plural 2nd person. "Yinz going downtown for the fireworks tomorrow?" (In the dialect, "downtown" is pronounced "dahntahn")

'n 'at - "and that" "They had all kinds of pants 'n 'at at that new store in the mall."

Plenty of North-west England ones for you

"Every Preston Guild" - very rarely.

"Since Mulligan skint the zulu's" - I've only ever heard my father (who's Irish) and a few others use this, but apparently it means 'a long time ago'

'Yonks' - see above

'Corporation pop' - water

'snide' - counterfeit

'well' - very

'keks' - trousers (can all be combined, as in "those keks are never Levi's, they're well snide")

'scran' - food

'hanging' - ugly

'mard' - scared/frightened

'newted/relaxed as a newt' - drunk

'nowt/nish' - nothing

..and I'm only scratching the surface.

There are also plenty of regional/location insults (yes, I know the UK is about the size of a sparrow's tear, but we can distinguish between what to you would be very close locales).

Thieving Scouse Get - native of Liverpool

Sheepsh*gger - native of Wales/Yorkshire/Cumbria

Pie-eater - native of Wigan

Weegee - native of Glasgow

Smoggie/Smogmonster - native of Middlesbrough

I live in North Carolina (since 2000) and while I've gotten used to, and even embraced, many southern things, I will never understand the pointless sentence structure involving the phrase "might could."

"I might could go down to the store to pick up some milk on the way home." I mean, WTF?

Seems like everytime I listen to a new GWJ Podcast, Rabbit educates me on new sayings I've never heard before. Most of them seem to involve dick references.

I use "soda". I grew up in the land of "pop", and have actively attempted to distance myself from it.

Not a phrase, but a local delicacy in Rochester, NY is the Garbage Plate.

Could be but honestly when I hear that it's more along the lines of, "damn she's hot, I'd lick her up one side and down the other."

That guy's not allowed on the internet...he's no fun.

I got a million of 'em, but it's all a muddle. Since nobody's actually from where I come from, everyone just brings their own in with them and it all just sort of sloshes around.

damned skippy - very certain.

I will be damned by all the Gods in Southern California before... - that one came from my Gramma. No idea where she got it. She grew up in Minnesota.

Outside - anyplace outside the state borders of Alaska. Used like, "I'm going Outside to see my daughter for Christmas." Said daughter is in Seattle.

lazy - used in reference to really rotten weather; the sort where the wind is blowing so hard it can't be bothered to go around and just goes straight through

Anyone else remember the Timex slogan "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking"?

Today someone would ask why anyone would lick their watch...

My wife (who was actually born & raised in Raleigh, a lot of folks here are transplants to the Research Triangle Park area) has gotten confused a couple of times by my use of the word "tired" to mean something that's in bad shape, wilted, etc. "I don't think I'm gonna get a salad, the lettuce looks really tired." I'm originally from Wisconsin, by way of Illinois; dunno if that's a Wisconsin or Illinois-ism, but it's apparently not used much around here. =)

I'm in central phoenix, and it seems a lot of people here say "right on!" Seems to be a general response to being told something. Kinda reminds me of hooah in the army. Which I was told by one officer meant " I have nothing of importance to say, but am expected to respond anyway."

'strue, I'm from Wisconsin originally, that's what we called it. =)

I'm told that the origination of it is that a "bubbler" was one of those drinking fountains that looks kind of like a bird bath with a straight up fountain-like spout of water, as opposed to a kind of spigot that shoots it from the side of the basin into the middle. I have no idea how true that is, but that's what I was told.

I think it's half "out and about" and half exaggerating/making fun of accents of the more northerly folks. I actually heard it more often than not as "oat and aboat."

This is the only one i'm really familiar with down here in the Hudson Valley. That and "LawnGuyLand". Generally used to indicate a person from that sandbar.

Back home, everyone who wasn't from there was referred behind their back as a "Touron" in the summer (rhymes with moron) or if you stuck around in the winter you were a "cheechako" (a word from an Alaska Native dialect that basically means newb).
