Now there's one I've never heard. At least "cut off the light" makes some sense.

Flipflop shoes are "thongs".

And yeah, thongs are underwear, and flipflops aren't shoes. They're . . . flipflops. (Sandals?)

True to a point, but since until relatively recent times, there was little that was "urban" in the South, it may be a distinction without a difference. Where it is not "urban" dialect, that may be as much due to the influx of people from, ummm, "not around here" as to a rural-urban distinction.
