A couple from Mississippi from years back:
“Poke” for “sack” or “bag.”
“Mess” for usable quantity of something to eat. For example, “You picked enough collards to make a mess,” or, “We’ve shot our mess of squirrels for dinner, time to go to the house.”

“Polk Salad Annie” by Tony Joe White. “Polk” was a variation on “poke.” It was a cooked greens dish made from pokeweed eaten by very poor folks.

“MESS” is an old ETONIAN ( very ELITE “public” [ which we call “PRIVATE” school ] boarding school in the UK ) term for a desert called “ETON MESS”. It’s strawberries, whipped cream and meringue.
