Yes, we go to the crick and look for crayfish.
My grandfather is a Louisiana Cajun, and would get visibly irritated when we called his beloved crawfish gumbo “crayfish stew”
Southern Ontario: Crayfish. Shopping cart, baby carriage, stroller (not pram or buggy). Sub, milkshake, sprinklies or sprinkles, pop. You put the groceries in a bag.
Personal carrying bags for women: if held in the hand, “purse” or (less common) “handbag”. Distinct from “shoulder bag”. “Bag” by itself is much more general and can refer to a cloth shopping bag, a plastic or paper disposable grocery bag, or even airline luggage.
We also use “wallet” for both men and women for the style that folds twice and the paper money goes in the top; if it opens like a book, it can be a pocketbook (though that term is less common.
“Chesterfield” has been supplanted by “couch”, which is still more common than “sofa”. I blame the insidious linguistic influence of the expression “couch potato”. 
I grew up right outside of Philly, and went to college for four years in the southern tier of western NY, where I met my husband (a native). After graduation, we moved to northern NJ.
I call it “soda”, my husband stubbornly sticks with “pop”.
I’m trying desperately to hold on to my "wuder"s.
I grew up with “hoagies”, but I often order “subs” for lunch - in my mind, they’re two entirely different sandwichs. The bread in a sub is all wrong, and they often put mayonaise on it!
A local place near my mother-in-law’s place makes a “steak sub” with actual chunks of steak, cut up. And they put normal sub stuff like lettuce and tomato on it. Nothing at all like a cheesesteak, but still good.
On the other hand, that area has introduced me to the Friday night Fish Fry, which is delicious.
I often receive looks of confusion or disgust when I express a craving for scrapple with breakfast.
“Scrapple”? *Risha, I assume you don’t mean “Snapple”. What are “wuders”?
Casey, do you spell it “crick”? Because it you mean “minor stream”, we spell it “creek” and pronounce it to rhyme with “creak”, “beak”, and “peak”.
I understand that the Brits use “creek” to mean “estuary”.
Nope, we spell it “creek” but pronounce it “crick”. It usually means minor stream, but can also be used to refer to an open drainage ditch.
We just can’t talk right here. I’ve heard people refer to the tree as an “El-em” tree (two syllables), and the stuff you put in a camera as “fill-em”. The number after two is “tree”, and the eigth letter of the alphabet is pronounced “haych”.
Our spelling of eighth sucks, too.
Sunspace, if Risha is having it for breakfast, then she did probably mean scrapple. Scrapple is pork bits (which bits depends on recipe, region and preference) in a corn mush matrix, cooked into bricks, which are then sliced and fried as a breakfast meat, often served with maple syrup. It’s a Pennsylvania thing.

I’m sure there must be a way to describe that more appetizingly…
Oh, and a “jimmy”? I know that as a tool to pick locks, and also the process of fiddling with something to unlock it.
Er, not that I’ve ever done that, of course.
That was it. I’ve had it once before, but didn’t care for it. It was better than I thought it would be, though. I expected stuff that isn’t even good enough to get into a hot dog to taste much worse.
I just can’t help thinking I wouldn’t order much of anything you guys mention…
Quiz:
Where am I if I order a “soy chai and a vegan oat cake made from humane-harvested local organic fruits and whole grains”?
I’d give you guys a hint, but I think this one’s obvious…
I was born and raised in Northern California, but I’ve transplanted to Seattle. In No. Cal., it would be a Sub, a milkshake or just a shake, ice cream with sprinkles (either rainbow or chocolate), and a soda. In Seattle, it would be a pop instead of a soda, but I have not given in to this! It is soda, dammit! (Mr. Gazer and I “argue” about this regularly. I’ll ask him to get me a soda from the fridge and he’ll say, “A what? I don’t understand you? So-da? What is this so-da you speak of?”)
Actually, in both places you just order what you want: a Coke, a Diet Coke, Sprite, whatever (unless it’s serve-your-own fountain drinks). If you’ve ordered a Diet Coke but the establishment carries the Pepsi line, they usually ask, “Is Diet Pepsi okay?”
I’ve heard that in Southern California, you would order a Coke, and then the server would ask you what kind you wanted. You’d tell them “Diet Coke” or “Sprite” or something.
With my region in mind – I was kind of confused when Starbucks came out with their Frappuchinos a few years ago, until I learned about that East Coast “Frappe” business. BTW – how do you pronounce “frappe”? is it frap-pay, or frap?
Oh, and Ghanima: either Portland or Seattle. 
I pronounce it “milkshake”.
LOL. You guys are making me hungry.
It’s “frap”, no “ay” on the end, in eastern Massachusetts. We have brooks, not creeks. It’s crawfish, not crayfish.
In the car, we keep maps and such in the glove compartment.
I can get scrapple only when I’m going through Pennsylvania. That means 1972 and 1996. I have planned a long lay-over at the Philadelphia airport next April just to give me plenty of time to track it down.
EddyTeddyFreddy, I get my peanut butter milkshakes at Sonic. Do you have them in Exurbia? Uh…Are they flown in?
Sunspace, I used to have a Chesterfield but it was a coat. Herringbone tweed with black velvet on the collar. I thought they would be around forever. That was forty years ago.
Now I’ve been around forever.
And the first cigarette I ever had was a chokegaspChesterfieldrasp. I didn’t know that a sofa was called that.
Does anyone remember a sofa/couch being called a divan in old movies? I just checked in the dick and a divan usually had no arms or back. Sounds like a bed to me. Maybe it wasn’t polite to talk about lying down on the bed.
I still want to know what frappelanders put in their milkshakes.
Frappes are made with milk, ice cream, and flavoring – chocolate and vanilla are the biggies around here.
Zoe, what’s a Sonic?
Google divan or divans and you’ll find them sold by both sofa and bed retailers, with and without arms. “Divan”, it appears, is a Turkish word. I don’t have time now to look for backup, but I believe a divan is what we’d call a chaise longue, although I saw one in Googling that had a lovely mahogany frame, including arms.
Sunspace, that WAS the appetizing description. If you want a less appetizing description, try la casa de scrapple.
EddyTeddyFreddy, this is Sonic
