I know, cause the man who invented it lived in Oklahoma, and being a high school student from said area, they decided to make that one of the things you had to read for one of the end of year tests. One of the others was about Chuck Norris, I kid you not, who also happens to be from Oklahoma.
boom. right there, I am not from oklahoma, but even I knew that one.

listen to the fucking recording, its "lever-idge" in the way it's pronounced, so don't tell me i'm damn wrong when dictionary.com has it that way.

Wow that was fun. Not only do half of those not exist, but Britain still loses for inventing the word "burgle." Try explaining that one.
yeah with my previous job that I just quit, I dealt with literally HUNDREDS of people from all over the country (some even international) on the phone and more than half of these mannerisms never showed up, I have NEVER heard the word deplane, nor "winningest"...i mean, what? what the fuck is that..
I swear sometimes every non US citizen seems to take our media/hollywood for exact facts on how everyone here acts/speaks..even then the US isn't one massive blob of sameness, so mannerisms/slang change from area to area all over.
