Since we are doing Detroit area: The Inner City Grand Prix. With references to The Lodge Expressway.

If you have driven those you would understand....Think far left lane, posted 55 mph traveling 80 or more and at the last minute cut across three lanes to make the exit.....

"Yuns jag" is Pittsburghese for "You're lying/annoying/teasing/BSing". Yep, it's different there. They even put French fires inside their sandwiches!

Don't know whether to shit or go blind.

When I lived in North Cackalacky, after a hard days work in the sun, I'd hear brick tenders say,"I'm slap give out!"

Which reminds me of two more:

Didn't know whether to shit or go blind, so I closed one eye and farted.

I'm so confused I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my ass.

A couple from SE PA/Philly I can think of:

"Awhile": "Can I get you some drinks awhile" said the waitress
"Jeet": Did You Eat?
"Jew eat": variant of Did You Eat? ( was in school in NY state and said that to a guy in my class who was Jewish, and he actually thought I was fucking with him)
"Down The Shore" or "Downashore": at the beach in New Jersey
"Yuze": You all (Philly equivalent of Pittsburgh "Yinz")

He's so confused, he don't know if his ass was punched or drilled.

He's/She's so ugly, he's gotta sneak up on a mud puddle to get a drink of water.

Well I can't dance and it's too windy to pick rock, might as well have a beer.

She's so pretty, I'd be on her like a duck on a June bug.

Can't say it's regional, but a few of my favorites from my grandpa:

Boy, you are ATE UP with the dumbass.

Son, you have to be at least 10% smarter than the hammer.
