Funny, I think the same way about most Southern slang...it's so common to hear it everywhere, it doesn't seem slang-y until some Yankee laughs at the terms...

here's one..."hosepipe"...what some might call a garden hose...

One might hear a Southerner ask you "hook the hosepipe up to the spigot (pronounced spick-it) so I can warsh my truck"...and then he might "wrench (rinse) it off"...
