Anyone know what a "touque" is?

Only from the Bob and Doug McKenzie Christmas song.

"...and a beer..in a tree."

A grinder followed by a creemee is a good night.

Ayup. Another French Canadian influence.

I guess they call them "tossle caps" in western PA.

In the Marines guys from all over had different ways about soft drinks

In the South - A Coke means any of them

Up North- It's a pop

From Northwest- Soda Water

[MWH1967]

anyone had a lye cleanse?

 

[nobody]

I see people here say things like, "The grass needs mowed.", They leave out the "to be" part. (Yes, I know, To be or not to be.) My brother's girlfriend is from PA, and she's the only person I know personally who does that,so it was kind of a relief to see that others do it too.

I picked it up from my mom, who grew up in Southern Illinois, so they leave out the "to be" there a lot too. I think parts of Indiana does as well.

I like reading his stuff. Makes me work a bit at times but I usually get there in the end.

Feel the same way about Jerry when he gets on a roll.

I don't think that's a regional thing.

In DC/DMV area

Jack= cigarette

Lunchin = acting stupid/inappropriately for the setting

Wellin = lying/exaggerating

Bamma = someone from the South or Baltimore (out of towner and obvious)

Kirk = get mad "I kirked out on him"

Sice = exaggerate - pretty sure this is national though

One thing I noticed when visiting New York, they say "on line" instead of "in line"; no cuts, I'm on line here! They are on the line, not in it lol

nope, unless you are backed up. Worst thing that could happen to you but, in the end (pun intended) you are a new man.

Nope same here. I just hear more twang than I think I sound like.

Not really, I see a lot of twang in your writing.
