OP One that may be peculiar to my region, and I don't hear white people say it. Using the word "until" where others would use "that". For example: "He was so busy until he didn't have time to eat." I've heard it several times. And "landed up" instead of "wound up", i.e. "I landed up taking the other bus when my regular one didn't show up."
