My dad and grandad would use the phrase “on the box” to refer to being on the sick, but that’s the only one of those I recognise.

In the Deep South my older relatives and acquaintances were taught to pronounced words such as:
chimley instead of chimney
chrystual instead of crystal
furni tour instead of furniture
I think National TV over the past two generations has helped to homogenize our pronunciation across the country.
