[QUOTE=SewingSew;7619049]What vocabulary do you use that is specific to your region? I'd be very interested to hear from members in different countries. One of my girlfriends was from Manchester, England. She used to call a peanut butter sandwich a "peanut butter buddy." A burlap bag where I'm from is a "tow sack." Here is a very interesting link:
I am from southern Indiana originally and now live in So. California. Don't hear too much that is California, but my mother used to say most of the ones posted. The one she used for corn was roshin' ears: roasting ears. Another phrase was: He ain't got sense enough to pour p*ss out of a boot! Meaning he was really dumb. And this one Lawsa Mercy: meaning Lord have mercy! She had a lot others too. One I read recently from W. Virginia area was a Poke. It was a paper sack. Thought that was really interesting.
