I guess "Spider on the ceiling" is like "Bats in the belfry."

The one I've gotten the most grief from (outside the Southern US) is "fixin' to do something" like "I'm fixin' to go to the store."
Good Morning! I'm fixin' to go over yonder [Ed: to the 1st floor cafeteria] and get me some biscuits and gravy, but reading this had me so tickled that I nearly fell out [Ed: of] my chair. Stay out the sun, it's gonna be a hot one. Bless all y'all's hearts now.
