I love going to different areas and hearing the varying expressions. In Arkansas, I've heard "you 'uns" and "turn thanks". I just loved those.
What is a "turn thanks"? The other thing I get a kick out of and don't know if other states do this, I do it all the time without thinking is giving distance in time. When someone asks how far Portland is from me, I never think to say the miles, just the time it takes to get there. Oh about 1-1/2 to 2 hours depending on traffic and how fast you drive. As I work for a trucking company and we do out of state deliveries everywhere, I find I even do that, not 500 miles to Camden, NJ but about 8 hours ride.
