some people call a bag a purse. there was a question on ab earlier asking what to you keep in your purse except your wallet. i had to read it again to make sure id read it right lol

Some people call a movie a show. Also, instead of saying "Can I borrow some money?" will say, "Can you borrow me some money?" And then, some people will refer to a something that they don't know the name of as "the whatzit there." Like, "Go pick up the whatzit there." I think that's mostly Canadians or those Fargo people.

I don't.

I can think of a few. Tonic is what some people call soda it around here. Outside of my area, I've heard carriages at the grocery store called buggies or carts. Some people call it ground beef instead of hamburg. Sandwiches are called grinders or subs.

I know lots... I'm in Scotland. We have lots of words that are different to other english speakers. One example: in the west of Scotland it is very common to say "ginger" instead of "pop" or "soda". No idea why...

In every part of California I've lived in (and I've lived in California all my life), I've heard pop and soda called, 'Coke'. As in: "Do you want a Coke?" "Yeah" "OK, what kind?"

I'm from Lancashire in England. I would never use the term pop or soda - it would be a fizzy drink or the brand name. And we don't say we are going to see a movie - we say we are going to see a film at the cinema. If you have a sandwich, it might get called a sarnie, and the bread roll you put it in could be a muffin, a barm, a bap or a bun depending on where you are from. Chewing gum is 'spiggie' and a narrow alley between houses is a ginnel. If you are shocked at something you are 'gobsmacked'. We don't have ground beef, we buy 'mince' and pies are nearly always savoury - chicken and mushroom or steak and kidney which you get from the local bakery.We have chips with our fish not fries. Potato chips are called crisps. We have lorries not trucks and mobiles not cell phones. A jumper is a sweater and what Americans call a jumper we call an all-in-one or dungarees. We wear trousers not pants - although we do wear pants underneath them but we'd call them knickers more often. Don't mention a 'fanny pack' in England because a 'fanny' is a slang term for a woman's erm, private parts not her rear end. If you have a car, you have an acccelerator not a gas pedal, the engine is under the bonnet and you keep your luggage in the boot.
