My grand daughters kindergarten still calls them "cloak rooms" just like we did in my one-room school 70 years ago. We say pop or soda or with Uncle Gus its "pop-sody". Also couch, creek not crick, crayfish not crawdads, water fountains, gravel roads and hard roads (oil or asphalt), potlucks not carry-in dinners, lunch at noon and supper later, grocery bags not sacks, noodles not pasta, green beans not string beans, yard sales not tag sales, invitations not invites, and so many more. Regional sayings are always interesting. I had a professor of linguistics in college who would have you answer certain questions and could tell where you were from. Also we have lived in many states and I always have to wonder about people who say they have no accent. Everyone has an accent. Guess they have never been anywhere else.
