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.

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.
