Buggie or Shopping cart? Shopping cart (unless I'm in Canada, then it's a buggie)

What other words do you say that are uncommon? I say "crick" instead of "creek".
We did something similar to this on SB where we all had the same list of words to read off and then posted the video to YouTube. It was about six months ago, it was really fun.

Hee hee I remember that, and I remember that because I did not participate, I did not feel right about looking at the videos like a creeper. I think I saw Any's and that was it.
I'm from the South. It's all Coke. For the sake of my Yankee friends (that's what we call anyone not from the South. NY, Mass, California, you are all Yankees) I say Soda. Pop just doesn't sound nice. It's a harsh sounding word in most accents.
Buggie
Breakfast, lunch/supper, dinner
A spigot is on the side of your house and you hook a water hose to it. A faucet is connected to a sink.
sucker, tennis shoes/running shoes, water fountain
The thing that sucks the dirt off your floor is called a vacume. I have friends from up north who call it a sweeper. What exactly is it sweeping?
I say sub, not hogie or hero

Who you callin' a Yankee! ;)
I also say Subs, but that's probably because I worked at Subway. That's right, you have a sandwich artist in the house! Ha ha!
One that gets me is sweatshirt v. sweater. To me, a sweater is something that is knitted (is that even a word?) and a sweatshirt is something that is a thick jersey like material. Not sure how to explain it - but hoodies are sweatshirts, not sweaters, to me.

I didn't have a YouTube account back then, so I wound up posting mine on FB and then only allowing the SB girls to see it. I made it way too complicated lol.
What I've noticed about people from the Pacific Northwest (where I grew up) is we say "these/those ones" instead of just saying "these/those". As in, "I think I like these shoes better than those ones".
