We use “fill yer boots” like , “go ahead”. VSue’s might be different thiugh
Ooh. Can’t wait for the answer. I know it as neither of those things 
I use it to mean “go for it” but in the sense of “load up”. It could mean food but really it could mean anything.

Knee-high by the Fourth of July (talking about corn growth)
Padiddle (see a car with a headlight out, yell padiddle and hit the person next to you…like slug bug)
Not so much an Indiana thing, just something I like to say: It must be ‘Obvious Day’ at Camp Stupid.

There’s two sayings: “off like a herd of turtles” and “off like a dirty shirt”. So I’ve morphed then into something I say often: “off like a dirty turtle”

Well, thanks to “Trailer Park Boys”, I use “Jesus Murphy!” as an exclamation.
There is the typical Massachusetts/New England stuff. Thanks to having an Irish Father, several Irish-y things find their way into my vocabulary. People around here probably find it strange. My speaking patterns sometimes fall into the Irish inflection as well.
Feck, Bollocks, Langer. 3 expletives I use regularly.

Ahhh, so Bubbles didn’t just make it up then!!
No, he probably grew up with it too. He’s was from my area too, almost same generation, a few years older. Dad would add in the “H” as in Jeezus H. Murphy sometimes.
Lord tunderin’ was another
