These gave me a good chuckle. I moved from MI to TX in 1977 & had a heck of a time understanding some of the people at first. I will say though that in MI we also say crick, but in TX I was adamently told it was pronounced creek! I was also told by a co-worker that to become a true Texan I had 2 choices - (1) I had to wait 10 yrs or (2) I could enter Jose Perez' jalapeno eating contest! I told him I would just wait the 10 yrs, thank you very much! LOL I lived there for 17 yr and would move back tomorrow if I could.
