I've hear a willy referred to as a "John Thomas", also.

My husband from New Hampshire says "burree" (rhyl=mes with furry) when he means to put something in a hole in the ground, whereas out here we say "berry".

Also, Worcester Massachusetts is properly pronounced (back there) Wooster, as in rooster, when it definitely looks like war-ses-ter!

My dad has many colourful expressions. I'll try to remember some and put them in here. Just remembered, this morning he told me an old boss of his once said, "Hudson speaks two languages: English and Profanity. He's not much skilled in English, but he excells in Profanity!" Dad had just gotten done venting to me about the Mormon church, which living in Utah, he is surrounded by. NOI!

I've also heard the deragatory term: "down-valley, in-bred white trash".

Something can be as "worthless as tits on a boar hog" or as "cold as a well-digger's ass" and people we really value are "salt of the earth".
