Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption and that you pitch one and have the other.

I never knew that the above was only a southern thing.

Also, we southerners like to say "fixin to" -- i.e., "I am fixin to go to the store".

I lived in Miami for about two years. One day at work I said,"I'm fixin to leave"...and I had to repeat myself about four times because those yankees had no idea what I was talking about! By the way, I'm a native Alabamian!
