Oh, then there is, "That's enough to make a preacher cuss."
My husband says I say things like these all the time and don't even know I am saying them. I am from Kansas and he is from Washington state.

Children are called younguns' in the Carolinas, or chaps. My grandmother's underwear were her unmentionables. My grandfather was my pawpaw. When I lived in Virginia, I knew someone who called their grandfather pappy.
Some of these I've never heard before. This is a fun thread.
