My turn:

hundred--hunnert
fifty--fitty
fixing (as in "fixing to do..")--fittin'
mother--mutter
killed--kilt
mother's house--mamanems (a contraction of "Mama and them's)
all right--a'ight
going to--gonna or gon'
there--der
that--dat
the--da
right--rat
get--git
don't know--dunno
fart--fawd
bathroom--bahfum (my niece when she was a child said it this way and it sounded like she was saying "bad fumes", so maybe she was on to something there).
about--'bout
earth--earf
equipment--equibument (Who are you, Mushmouth?)

nuclear--nu-que-lar (I actually hear US Senators on C-SPAN pronounce it that way. Hey, folx, don't vote on it if you can't pronounce it. I don't want my last few minutes on the planet mired in a syntax discrepency).

Georgia--Jojah
Missouri--Missourah
Ohio--Ahiyah
bowl--ball

OK, more later

Oh, Classy Lady, as far as the toilet pronounciation, in New York it's pronounced TERLET.
