"Jeet?" and "No, Jew?" was common in NYC where I grew up. Upper west side, but heard it all over the city.
Also "Jawanna?" (do you want to) and "I'mgunna" (I'm going to..).
"Howja dewdat?" and "Ahmmmannabe..." (I'm going to be..)

If you want to confuse people about pronunciation just bring up Wymondham and Happisburgh, both in Norfolk.
