Anyone else were a touque in the winter, or get sick with the grippe? I think that's a French Canadian influence thing.

You knew I'd know, didn't you? Yep! There has to be someone around here who knows the proper term I'm smart like that. Swamp, I've had the crud, but never the grippe.

CL- On which one is DH right? The Duck one or the War one? As a matter of principle I never like to tell him he is "right" about anything. It'll just go to his head and he'll start thinking he might be right on other things. It would be total anarchy at our house.

CL is a Southern Belle through and through, so I am going to say he's right about the war.

Funny! This is really interesting. We use "buggy" here too, for shopping cart.
Never have heard "carry", but here people say they are going to "get down" meaning they are going to get out of the car (or not). Like, I'll drive you to the store, but I'm not going to get down (i.e. go inside with you). I personally have never used it because I think it sounds funny, but it's common.
Also the "s" thing: Safeways, Wal-Marts, Kmarts, etc. Again, even though I grew up with it it sounds funny to me.

It'll just go to his head and he'll start thinking he might be right on other things. It would be total anarchy at our house. Contrary to popular belief I meant duck duck goose. I forgot to bold it. I can see where you wouldn't want to encourage him thinking he's right though, that wouldn't be good at all.

Or conversely, when they arbitrarily make things that should be plural singular instead. It's not 12-foot long, it's 12 feet. That baby is also not 8 "month" old, those are months. Blargh. The regional term I just could not get over was knowing some Pennsylvania Dutch folks who say "you'uns". It comes out like "yuinz", and after 4 times of saying "excuse me?" and "I'm sorry?" I gave up and had to ask someone else to explain it to me. Turns out it is just a wildly incorrect way of saying y'all.

Oooo ima's reminds me of another one. To my friends up in Pennsylvania, pigs in a blanket are cabbage stuffed with a hamburger/rice mixture. To me those are just cabbage rolls and pigs in a blanket are little hot dogs or sausages wrapped in dough.

I can't even figure out where they hell they got that soup nonsense from. (although it is tasty, it in no way resembles any sort of pie)

It is chicken, veggies and gravy. I think it is a little thick to be soup.

I'm about as northerner as you get, and I agree with you on the pot pie, stuffed cabbage rolls, and pigs in a blanket. Although I think pigs in a blanket would be more appropriately called dogs in a blanket.

Not very much comes to mind. I do think people in the west dress more casually than people in the east, particularly in the northeast.

I've heard cabbage rolls be called stuffed cabbage, pigs in a blanket or golumpki. We also call the little weiners/crescent rolls pigs in a blanket too.
As for the pot pie, it ain't a pie without a crust, right?

Do you tell anyone else who invented something that they are stupid? But chicken pot pie is the one cooked in a pot and if you want the one cooked like a pie you can get it it is just called chicken pie. For those that don't know they do cook the crust in the pot with the dish not baked like a pie crust.

Just so people know chicken pot pie done that way has like ten thousand calories a bowl. It has to be made with chicken fat rendered down from the skins of lots of chickens. If you try and use shortening or butter alone in the crust it will turn your pot pie into a pot of nice tasting library paste. they have lots of of chicken pot pie dinners around here. I will hear people talking about how they were getting ready to make the curst by saving up their chicken skins in their freezers. The other part that cracked us up was that you can call and say you want yours to go and they will ask if you are bringing your own pot.

When we first moved to S GA there were advertisements on TV for a "bedroom suit". Since it was a furniture store, we just figured they were mispronouncing "suite".
I pictured a bedroom suit being the same as a birthday suit meaning you were "Nekkid" as they say in the south.

Galumpkis are the stuffed cabbage, pigs in a blanket are mini hot dogs and cresent rolls, and pot pie as a soup is a PA Dutch thing, i think. It's a thick chicken soup with large wide noodles/dumplings.

West Coast snob alert lol! We call our "sneakers" Chucks (whether they are or not). Uhhh... no we don't... in fact, I've never heard of them referred to as Chucks. Ever. MM: maybe it's a beach thing? "Chucks" - as in Charles Converse - as in Converse sneakers.

We called Chuck Taylors "Chucks" when I was in HS, but only the Chuck Taylors. Anything else was "sneakers".
