In Wisconsin (or parts there-of)---"youse guys" or "what do youse all say....." instead of "you".

In Minnesota...."UFFDA" which is Scandanavian for "wow", "oh my". Minnesotans might say "fer cute" (no explanation there). Potluck is for bringing a dish to pass to a get together. But you can use "potluck" as descriptive too---meaning you get what you get out of something.

Also---"slicker than snot on a door-knob"; "finer than frog-hair" (if asked how one is) are some sayings.
