Up here in Chicago's northernmost suburb, Milwaukee, we say stuff like:

Come over by my house and whistle me out so my mudder can see who I hang by. And,

Trow da cow over da fence some hay once. And,

(said to the bus driver) Punch me longer, I'm goin' down by Schuster's, down where da streetcar bends da corner around once, donchaknow.

Our vernaculars have a lot in common.

True story -- we moved to the northernmost suburb (Meewalkee) in 1986. Went to register the car. Had to drive around the block four times to find a parking spot. Lady in front of me kept stopping in front of one house, honking her horn at an old man sitting on 'da stoop.'

Finally, on trip number four, she got out of her car, went up to him and said, "Otto, didn't 'ya see me honkin'?

I must have told that to a dozen Meewalkeeans, and none of them saw anything wrong with what she said... Go figure...
