> [@LawMonkey](#): > > Interesting thread. Especially enjoyed the Sauna Rules, heh. Me, I can’t really contribute–grew up in Cincinnati, where we’re pretty much in the land of midwestern neutral, with maybe a touch of southern influence from Kentucky (or maybe just because my folks all more or less derived at the grandparent level and back from Appalachia). Weirdest thing we do is say “please” when we mean “come again, I didn’t hear that?”. You’ve opened the floodgates for synonyms of that particular expression group: – do what? – how’s that? – what happened? – say again – beg pardon – huh? – I’m sorry? ---
