Also, a Kettle is what you use to heat water on the stove (or an electric kettle), whereas a tea pot is what you pour the hot water and tea in to steep/serve.

The number of times I have gotten in an argument with PA folks about calling them Sprinkles instead of Jimmies... They are sprinkles, damnit.
Also that's a remote. Is there another name for it?

one more (or two if you have different names for each): They're all sandwiches. If it's bread with stuff inside it's a sandwich. I DON'T CARE.

ETA: creek. sprinkles. remote. sub.

I think my answers to these are mostly the same as others. I had an interesting experience with dialects the other day while people were signing up to bring things to our barbecue. I call soft drinks "soda" MIL calls them "coke" and the friend who was volunteering to bring them calls them "pop". While having the ensuing discussion I kept having to pause and make sure I was speaking the right language to the right person.
Here we "fix" supper, but I was raised to "make" dinner. When DH and I first started dating it felt like we were speaking totally different languages.

I am intrigued what your different definition of a hoagie is. Unless you're referring to the bread orientation, where the bread is more like a V than a < or L. I would say most hoagies here have the V shape, but the photo I used is from Primo, which is my favorite. Funny enough, I call it a sub when it comes from Subway.

Also where I live you don't push a button, you mash it. And you don't take your sister to the dentist, you carry her. Neither of these are things I say, but they're pretty common. I do say y'all on occasion though. It makes no sense not to have a word to express this concept. I'd bet money this particular construction ("carry her") has its roots in Gaelic. In Irish, you aren't hungry, you have hunger on you. Was NC one of the states heavily settled by Scots-Irish?

I call them tennis shoes, is that a midwestern thing? I grew up in CA, but my mom is from Ohio.

Tennis shoes is definitely the most common term used here.

Here's one, when referring to a highway/freeway with a number, do you call it "123" or "The 123"? Or something else?

Lately I've been saying, "Route one hundred and twenty three" because it makes my husband laugh. In San Diego, we always called it "The 8", or "The 805" or "The 5", but in Philly, it's either just the number without "the", or most highways have a name, like The Blue Route, or the Schuykill Expressway, or just The Turnpike. The radio traffic report must be really confusing to anyone from out of town...

The radio traffic report must be really confusing to anyone from out of town... I believe that adding "the" to a freeway number is a SoCal thing in particular. I could never call 101 "the," but it will forever be "the 405" to me from my time living in LA.

Around here it's either "route 7" or just "7". For the bigger interstates, it's just "95" or "495"

Those are both subs. I'm going to go buy a hoagie today to show you all what a real hoagie is. I would call them a hoagie and a meatball sub. I am intrigued what your different definition of a hoagie is. Unless you're referring to the bread orientation, where the bread is more like a V than a < or L. I would say most hoagies here have the V shape, but the photo I used is from Primo, which is my favorite. Funny enough, I call it a sub when it comes from Subway. Ok so I did go buy a hoagie since this conversation comes up every few years. This, my friends, Is a hoagie. First of all, it will always come individually wrapped in a plastic baggie. Even if you buy a 6 pack they will be wrapped individually inside the big pack. You will notice it is on a hot dog--type bun. A little sturdier than a hot dog bun, but pretty darn close. The inside is ham, wrapped around American cheese and hoagie sauce. For those not in the know, hoagie sauce is this delicious masterpiece of tomatoes and peppers and onions and spices. Now, you can get regular hoagie sauce or spicy hoagie sauce, but those are the ONLY acceptable variations. You don't put other things on a hoagie, but you may choose to heat them up or eat them cold. It doesn't look like much, but it's delicious and is the only true hoagie.

+1. I always thought a hoagie was just another word for a sub-type sandwich. Now I need to know more about where the word "hoagie" comes from.
