English Phrases According to Dialect

Hi, Everyone,

Given our interesting discussion on Monday morning about region-specific English phrases, I thought I'd post some interesting links for websites that "claim" to know the answers. I must warn you, however: can anyone really claim 100% that certain expressions "don't exist" in a specific region in which English is spoken? I don't think so!
