My parents are both from Illinois, but I was raised in California, so I have some mid-west and some Cali jargon still in my everyday speech.
I have for the most part killed off my Valley Girl talk.... but I will once in a while still say "like I'm so sure" in disbelief of something and still say "like" more than I should. But "gag me with a spoon" is forever banished from my speech. :P
I do call soft drinks pop. My husband who is from North Dakota says soda.
My husband is from North Dakota/Minnesota area, so he has lots of charming sayings. I can only think of a couple right now though.
uff da!
Stick a fork in me
Oh for cute
everything is a "hot dish" not a casserole
