Hmm, I would never have connected ice cream -> popsicle, but it seems I am in the minority. Are popsicles called something else regionally? I’m curious what BigGirl had in mind.

I realize that #5 might cost me some points. I don’t care. Waiting “ON” line is an idiomatic abomination, and I refuse to countenance it.

In these parts, or at least in my house, “grinders” are specifically hot sub sandwiches. “Hoagies” are the cold ones. And “creek” is not spelled the way it is pronounced (“crick”).

*9 - Not what people around here say, but I’ve got Southern roots, and they run deep.

The difference between a hoagie and a sub is how the bread is sliced. A sub has one piece of bread on the bottom, then the meat and cheese and whatever, and then a separate piece of bread on the top. In a hoagie, the roll isn’t sliced all the way through, but only partly, like a hot dog bun, and then all the toppings are put inside the sliced roll. I don’t know anything about grinders, though, other than that it’s a regionalism for some sort of similar sandwich.

And I might just be making this up, but a “creek” and a “crick” are two different things. A creek you can probably jump over, but a crick you can step across.

not a lot of chatter - hmmm - I hope I make the cut.
regarding number 10 - personally, I use a variety of phrases, depending on my mood:
“the thing, you know, the THING”
thingimabob
fiendish thingy
whosiwhatsis

also I just realized I missed number nine <grumble grumble> if it matters, I’d have said “youse guys”
