Here's two from Northern California:
"Hella" = Very. "I was Hella into her, but it didn't work out"
"Capping" - Insulting. "Aw man, why you capping on me?"

"I'm going to make groceries."

I've never noticed any real regional dialect here in South Florida (the panhandle is completely different and often called Lower Alabama, so they don't count).
However, the one thing they do here that drives me absolutely mad is to refer to the same street by several different names and it dosen't matter what city you are in or what the real name of the street is. I remember spending two hours looking for "Federal Highway" when in fact, I was on it. The street signs showed US 1.  Again, I spent a good 30 minutes once looking for Ocean Blvd when in fact, it was US 1. Again I looked for Atlantic Blvd - that's right - it was US 1. But just to make life more confusing A1A is also called Ocean Blvd and Atlantic Blvd and some have even called it US 1. Arghhhhhh! The only people that can find anything around here are the seniors and that's because they have the time and they take some serious drugs. It must help. . _____________________

Upper midwest:
Ya know You betcha! Uff Da! I was at GameWorx in Irvine CA a couple years ago and my cell phone was lost (stolen I think) and I went to the front desk to ask if they had found it. Before I finished my first sentence the guy working the desk said "You're from Minnesota." Bastard. I didn't even use any of the above phrases I listed! Damn that Fargo movie! _____________________

SoCal. Wicked, radical, tubular. I know someone from the midwest who says "ya know" after every questions. She also says "pop" instead of soda.
Yeah, we need to abolish all accents. _____________________

"Hella"
"Open-minded." "Common sense." "All you need is love." "I'm a sensitive person." "Defenestrate." "Have faith." "Everything will work itself out." "That's a picture of <Person's name> and I." (It's in the predicate.) "Your stupid." "Mischievious." _____________________

Dunno if it's regional or not, but i'll have to agree on people who use "gay" as to mean "bad" or "stupid."

I happen to like rainbows and carebears, but that doesn't make me homosexual. What meteorological phenomena do straight people get? What about bi? _____________________

I hear this in SL all of the time:
"pandastrong, you are such a douchebag." _____________________

~ Ulrika Zugzwang on the iconography of pandastrong in the media "That's no good. Someone is going to take your place as SL's cutest boy while you're offline." ~ Ingrid Ingersoll on the topic of LL refusing to pay pandastrong for being in their game. |

When I moved from Montana to Ohio, I found a few..
"Flip a bitch" meant "turn around" or "make a U-turn" - Haven't ran into anyone outside of Montana who knew what this meant. But I have gotten a few strange looks. A half-smoked cigarette out there was called a "Snipe", and out here is called a "Square". And the "pop"/"soda" one Darwin mentioned. |
