there is a Dictionary of American Slang which gives information about slang words and terms and how they vary by region.

For example, a large sandwich may be called a hoagie or a hero, or a submarine, depending on the section of the country.

Somehow I got on a list to provide information to the editors on slang from Texas and gave them a few examples they used. It was a neat experience.
