My inlaws have lots of those words.

They warsh their dishes in the zink. Their also brush their teeth and gooms in the zink.

They shop at Kmarks and Walmarks.

My family pronounces legged and sleeved wrong, like short leg ged and short sleeve ved, does that make sense?

The area we live in pronounces things strange too. We live next to the town of Charlotte. Not like Charlotte NC, but SharLotte. Or, as the locals say, ShaLotte.

Ok, now all the locals will now where I live!!

My brothers dog shiba is "sheebs, keebs, kibs, kiblet,

My dog buddy is just clunky butt

My moms dog blondie is big butt and blonds

my moms dog snicker is just snicks

My dog mollie is moley, mollz, guacamole

My moms dog ariel as none I believe

My moms b/fs dog maria is mo mo

my brothers dog sandy is just sands

We invented the word "narfy." "Narfy" is an adjective that means something that is goofily, childishly stupid. I have no idea where it came from.

Barney is a good example of something that we would consider narfy.

My family was a mix of West Texan and East Texan and Mid-Western with a LOT of Scot/Irish thrown in, so we always had some weird ones floating around, but ones that I use that always get me weird looks out here in AZ are,( and I will edit for appropriateness):
Runaways- as in ,"That grandaddy longlegs skeered me so bad I had a runaway.
Flat@ssed- as in," He got caught flat@ssed guilty with that stolen chicken.
Whatcha-as in,"Whatcha doing?
Fixin-as in," Im fixin to go to the store.
