I grew up in Ohio, and in Ohio it is not syntactically weird to say "your hair needs washed" or "this floor needs mopped." I found out in a graduate writing workshop in Chicago that it is "wrong" outside Ohio!

Also, I'd never heard anyone say "whaddya know" to mean "what's up" until I moved here. I'd never heard anyone say "or no?" to end a sentence, eg. "You coming to the bar with me, or no?" I already knew about bubbler, for some reason.
