I've gotten chuckles from saying "huck" instead of throw and "yarding" as in pulling/pushing on something too hard or going to town on something- "Leeland, quit yarding' on that draw so frigging hard, you're gonna bust it!" although that might not be just Maine, or new england for that matter. also, "them" instead of "those" is pretty common, and a hard habbit to break. I never realized though that most of these words aren't used outside of new england.
