Where I came from, a Coca-Cola, Mt. Dew, Faygo (couldn't resist--tee-hee) etc. were always called a pop, but you'd specify what kind of pop. Example---"I would like a glass of pop. Can I please have a Faygo Redpop?"  
Came to the South and all drinks are called "a Coke" with generally no immediate specification. Wtf? What if someone wants a Mt. Dew..?????
And I had to ask somebody what "all the way" meant when I ordered a burger---lmao :-)
Please, please list regional sayings from your own parts of the world-we seem to be from all over the Earth , and/or shit you thought was hilarious, and anything else expressive :-)
This should be both fun and funny---

I come from a part of the north where drinking fountains are called "bubblers", where instead of saying "isn't that so" or "right" people  say "ain'a hey?", and where going to a place is referred to as "going down by". For example, let's say you're going to Sears. People up there say "I'm going down by Sears."  

The one down here in the south that most befuddled me was "buggy" instead of "shopping cart".

Where I grew up, "can I get a coke?" Meant "cheerwine". For the Yankees out there, drop by a Cracker Barrel lol. Seems to be more of a novelty soda now

"Bless her (his, its, your) heart" is either used as a sincere expression of condolences, but gaining popularity as a nice sounding phrase after giving an insult.  
"Her mama just died... bless her heart." vs.
"She's so ugly she cudda stayed home... bless her heart."

"Take back to the (right, left)" equals "Turn".

Coke means all carbonated drinks.
"... and a coke."
"What kind?"
"Mountain Dew"

plenty more Southern, Scots-Irish deriative phrases to be found, but I'll let somone else have a turn.

So I've lived in a lot of different places, being that I am originally from Atlanta, GA. When I lived in Texas, we called pop, soda water. I had a friend from a small town outside Houston that I met while being stationed in Hawaii say they called having sex, getting some hot passion.  In Jacksonville, if we deemed someone shady, we would call them green, then I heard my football coach in college call us green, because we didn't know how to do a particular exercise. Last but not least I had a friend stationed with me in Japan from Washington D.C. that would say that we were lunching whenever we all telling jokes about each other laughing.

Noticed that one, too. Didn't now if I was being insulted or not.

"Fixin' to start" seems to mean "I'll get around to it someday". I was in a diner awhile back and heard one patron ask another if he'd gotten his pickup truck running after it died the previous year. The guy answered, "no, but I'm fixin' to start".

Nice un -  a polite way of saying someone is a dumbass

Fucked up as a football bat- a pretty screwed up situation.

Quar- I think this is how ya say it when I moved to nc from wv I thought they were saying queer and just saying it funny. It actually means a very particular person like "ya better do a good job he's very quar about his yard" seems more older folks use this one.  

Wompassed- something is bent like a wheel or something.  

Laying pipe - having sex

I'd plow her ass like the back 40 - that ones self explanatory :0)

I tend to pronounce fire as far and tire as tar, the one that kills my wife is I say battery were it sounds like battry. I have a weird mix of Southern Appalachain mountain lingo and NC mixed

I hear people from the midwest saying "I'm going to the store, wanna come with?"  How retarded does that sound?

"I'm fixin to" means getting ready in southern parts

In football, a "Watermelon Prospect" has been drummed out of common use over political correctness.  The funny thing is it means that athlete is green on the outside, but ripe.  some good practice or good coaching and he will be a great ball player."

Somehow, some way, Caddy is a superlative prefix just only with the word Wompassed.
Wompassed - warped, bent, misaligned.
Caddywompassed - bent to the point of being almost broken, severely misaligned

Also the plural forms of You heard whilst growing up;
Y'all is most prevalent but depending on the heritage of other people in the same county I heard You-uns followed by Yinz, Yinz guys, Youz, You-uns, You/Yinz/Youz folks, and occasionally You all.

Two informally dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the LAX airport.

 
The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man.
The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, bless your heart."
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz..
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, bless your heart."
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.
Yet again, the Southern lady commented, "Well, bless your heart."
The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh, my God! What on earth for?"
The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying, "Who gives a fucking shit?" I learned to say, "Well, bless your heart."
