I wish I could find the article I've read about this topic -- one example I remember was the "No way!", "Unbelievable!" or "Get outta here!"-kind of interjections which throw unacquainted people off, as they think the listener expresses actual disbelief. (They occasionally do, but people from the region that was brought up use it more liberally.)
