Ain't : is not / am not; i.e. "I ain't going to work.", "It ain't going to work." I guess this is stereotypically used in the south/southeast U.S.
Ya'll (or y'all): All of you > You all > Ya'll; i.e. "Are ya'll coming, or what?" Used to differentiate between singular you and plural you. Occasionally you'll get someone who will go so far as to use ya'll as singular you and "all ya'll" for plural.
Howdy : "How do you do?" meaning 'how are you?". A greeting, not actually asking how you are doing.
Waller : to roll around. Pigs waller in mud. Similar to squirming or wriggling.
