My mother and father were from Oklahoma, but lived in Texas since they were young. Dinner was at noon and supper was the evening meal. They inserted a lot of r's in words, such as warshed, and words ending in ing were replaced with an aw. As for Couch or sofa, we called it a divan, the fridge was an icebox and we drank sody water.

Sofa, soda, ink pen uses cartridges for legal purposes usually as opposed to roller ball and ball point pens. Here we are in the process of having out chimneys cleaned but they call them chimleys, wash is warsh and Warshington DC. Its spittin rain.

From NC I learned that, no one is sure how far "down the road a piece is" but they get there just fine! They also borree something instead of borrow and instead of living on a particular road, they "stay" there. At first I thought that someone was visiting, but nope, just the way it's said.
