I've been from West Virginia, to Georgia, and places in between. My favorite slang that I've picked up over the years:
Y'all = you all. "Y'all better calm down."
Fixin' to = going to. "I'm fixin' to go to." "I'm fixin' to eat."
Holla = a...place in the country? I'm not totally sure on this one. I've heard it used quite a few times like this: "She lives over in the holla." I've also heard people pronounce it "holler" before.
Colder than a witches tit = very cold. My dear WV-raised mother is famous for saying this. xD
Hankerin' = a craving for something. "I've gotta hankerin' for some taters."
Lick = not much, or very little. "I didn't get a lick o' work done today."
Use to could = used to be able to. "I can't hunt anymore, but I used to could."
You'uns = you all, or each of you. "I'd better not hear another word from you'uns."
Sweatin' like a whore in church = ew.
My favorite came from a friend in Cleveland, Ohio. He told me he was going to do his dishes, and when he was ready to, he said, "I'm gonna go bust these suds open."
