The milkshake / frappe debate got me thinking.....what are the regional differences you have noticed around the country?
soda / pop / coke water fountain / bubbler
Pronunciation of words like aunt / ant, the words roof and creek.
Just curious about differences across regions....

Frozen custard instead of ice cream. Circle instead of a rotary on a road.

I'm with Chiver on the frappe thing. You get them at Brigham's or Friendly's. Two regional businesses we grew up with that are nearly defunct now. Blenderized coffee drinks are frappucinos. A fake made up Starbuck's word.

I learned euchre in Michigan. No one in the south had ever heard of it. Bunco is huge there.

Frozen custard instead of ice cream. that's actually a different food though, I thought....? soda vs. pop vs. tonic (the right answer! ) you can find beer/wine in some grocery and convenience stores, but the place you go for booze is the "packy" aka "the package store" CAR-uh-mel or CAHR-mel (caramel)

I used to think of ice cream as cream sugar and flavorings and that if you made a custard and then froze it it was frozen custard. But from watching cooking shows I see the chefs always make a frozen custard but still call it ice cream.

From ehow:
Custard ice cream is made with egg yolks as the thickening agent in milk while soft serve uses cream, and sometimes starch, as a thickener. Vanilla custard ice cream usually has a yellow hue from the egg yolks, while vanilla soft serve is usually white.

But when you watch the Food Network they always use eggs and it does come out yellow not white, but they always call it ice cream.

For lots of us, who aren't so super picky, anything that goes INTO an ice cream maker is called ICE CREAM. The major difference to us is the effort. The GOOD ice cream, made with the custard that takes more effort, or the perfectly fine version made without eggs that is much faster.

Porch vs. stoop. Stoop is the corrupted English version of the Dutch stoep, and is used mostly in the NYC area.

Then the Chopped judges should be criticizing them for not labeling it properly like they do with everything else!

My DH is southern. When we went to upstate New York, the hotel clerk said "The pop machine is down the hall". He had no idea what she meant.
We don't have pop, soda, or tonic here. Everything is "CoCola" even if it is a Pepsi product.
There are plenty of great southern expressions around here. I remember when I was first working in GA, a co-worker said "I carried my wife to the store". It took me a few minutes to realize he was driving her in the car and there was no lifting involved.

Ahhh, yes........ carried. I only hear that out of one person now, my parents (and their siblings) did their best to teach us proper English so we could be understood. Not that the occasional "southernism" doesn't escape us.

When I was a teenager in southern NH, other than right in town, few people had actual driveways and lawns. It was more like bare dirt where you parked the car, and the rest was rocks and trees except the clearing for the house. "I left my car in your dooryard." "The dog is running around the dooryard."
