I think in the Midwest we used chew the fat as well.
Sidebar: I've heard that "chew the rag" came from black-powder rifle days when men sat around talking as they chewed the rags used for wadding a ball into the rifle. The material needed to be softened and lubricated to make starting the ball easier. I have no clue if this is true or not...
