The U.S. is so big that we have different dialects, regional pet names and differences. Anything unique to your neck of the woods?
When I first got to Wisconsin, I had to get used to stoplights being called stop and go lights! I still just call them stoplights.
I came from Chicago where soda was called pop so I adjusted to that. Now that I have been in Wisconsin for twenty years calling soda by the noun of pop sounds odd to me.
Also, the further north you go in Wisconsin, the more you hear a Canadian "accent" (for lack of a better word). But, no, I dont hear "eh" lol
