They all sound the same - and I'm from the Chicago area.
Will you marry me? Let's ride the Merry Go Round and Good morning, Mary!
All sound the same - it's kinda boring.

LOL! Love the chart, lynnerself. I liked the chart with You Guys, You, You all y'all. It should have had "all you all" or "all y'all" on it as well. I've heard the all added to 'you all' quite a few times from the 'southerners' that visit the office. Aside: is your avatar Faye Valentine? I love cowboy bebop.

The drive through liquor store one is shocking. I had never seen one until we moved to Georgia, but apparently they have their own special term in Virginia. Which is where we lived before Georgia.

Grinders are still grinders in CT. No toasting necessary.

Grinders are still grinders in CT. No toasting necessary. I always called them grinders but no one here in NJ calls them that. Subs and hoagies are both used. Is a choc milk shake still called a "shake"? ETA we used to call all other milk shakes a frappe.

Are Friendly's Ice Cream shops still around up in New England? They had really good milk shakes and frappes. They were also teen hangouts back in the '60s.

Some are still around, but they have been closing rapidly, lately. It was one of my favorite high school hangouts. But it is amazing that no matter which Friendly's you go to the service is the slowest you have ever seen and the wait staff is the most unhappy group of people you could imagine as wait staff.

Friendly's is definitely not the same as when I was a kid. there are still a few Brigham's kicking around too, but nowhere near the volume of stores as I remember from back then. and no, Ben & Jerry's is not the same.

Friendly's was founded back in the late '30s by the Blake brothers in Springfield, Ma. In the late '60s or very early '70s, one of the brothers (S. Prestley Blake) scandalized Springfield's society circles by marrying a black woman. Oh my! All that whispered gossiping.
