Is there anyway to rephrase/reword that statement so that it does not sound too cliche?

Read the following joke and didn't understand what's wrong about the first sentence:

A girl from Texas and a girl from New York were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Texas, being friendly and all, said: “So, where y’all from?”

The girl from New York said: “From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.”

The girl from Texas sat quietly for a few moments and then replied: “So, where y’all from, B**CH?”

Can anybody enlight me? So what'd be correct to ask if you wanna know where somebody is living? Is it really "Where do you live?"

Basically it's like this if you say "He's using provoking words to provoke you" what would be in this blank "He's using _____ words to conscience you"

I hear the word diabetes pronounced both ways. I suppose by looking at the word it could go either way. I know some dictionaries will show both, but what is the correct way?

Is this a right way to say what I want to say?

"Can I have a table for 5 persons ? We are arriving to you in about 10 minutes."

English is not my native language. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
