In the Boston area we have a rotary not a roundabout.
I'm from Philly, but currently live in New Jersey, so here's my take...
Soda
Hoagie
Dinner
Pot Luck
Isn't beano a pill you take before you eat beans?
In New Jersey we call it what it is...a traffic circle. We drive in a circle, so we call it a circle.

Great post! Jersey girl here....
Soda not pop
The shore, not the beach
The City, not New York
Upstate- New York State
Sprinkles- though my mom calls them jimmies
Gravy- not red sauce
Hoagies or subs
We call it both supper and dinner
bar not pub
Love our Pizza and our bagels (from a bagel shop)
To get most places you either hop on Parkway or Turnpike

In the Boston area we have a rotary not a roundabout.
From MA (western MA)
Here it's:
soda
grinders
Dinner and supper are not synonyms but are two different meals. We usually just have dinner but on Sunday, if dinner is early, we may have a later supper. Dinner is the main meal of the day. Supper is a lighter evening meal.
pot luck dinner
Bingo
It's a rotary throughout MA, but I believe it's only called a rotary in MA.

HA this a great post lol!
I talk about this stuff all the time....
I am from Rhode Island, we are typically "different" in slang or "speech" and the "accents" are different a little bit from boston.
SODA, never understood what Pop meant and where that came from, I had never heard of it until I worked at a dental lab where this woman from Buffalo asked if I wanted a pop? I looked at her like she had ten thousand heads. lol
Typically I just call everything a sandwich...but I do call things a sub or grinder, never used the word Hoagie.
Do you eat
supper or dinner? Typically I say Supper, but I do use both. and know idea what the difference is.
what do you call a pot luck dinner? lol. I dont really know I never really ate that stuff. Havent eaten it since I was a kid and just remember not liking it. Ham and cabbage or something like that?? lol
Bingo or beano? Bingo, never even heard of "Beano".
In the Boston area we have a rotary not a roundabout. Never heard the expression roundabout.....We call them rotaries too.
I live on the word "wicked" lol. EVerything is wicked everything lol.
And some wierd things I grew up doing mainly because of me being Italian more than being from Rhode Island, is I eat Italian bread, or bread in general with every dinner, no matter what. And I never ever ever call spaghetti sauce, sauce....gravy thats it. Brown gravy red gravy doesnt matter. Its all gravy lol!
A New England thing....is New England Clam Chowda and clam cakes lol....we drop the er and make it an a.....and white, it always has to be white. Thats the real new england way.

I used to drink pop, now I drink soda ( not really but that is what we call it)
Always called them sprinkles.
Eat dinner, I have not heard supper around here unless family was in town.
Subs are a great sanwhich for going out on the boat.
I wear sandals ( when I was little I called them both flip flops and thongs). Some people down here call them slippers or Chancletas (pronounced chon kleta)
I had never heard of a rotary/roundabout ( I had to google).
I wash. I have never said warsh. Growing up my step family (also from OH) used to say warsh, we always thought it was funny.
I used to sleep on a pellow, now I sleep on a pillow.
We don't drive on a freeway, we drive on a turnpike/expressway, most of which are not free.
We shop at the grocery and use a cart (some say basket),put our purchased items in a bag.

Sounds like your potluck is some sort of casserole?? The 'potluck' that I am familiar with is a gathering of people where each person brings a dish of food to be shared among the group.
I've never hard of beano either...except for the stuff you sprinkle on your food to keep you from...well, errrr...tooting!

We use dinner and supper interchangeably.
Bingo.
Roundabout.

I'm from Long Island too and I'm sorry to say, but we have have an accent. Even though we do live on and island, everyone I know still talks about what "town" they live in.
Stockings.
Bag.
Beer.
Bar.
Domino's is not real pizza when you have NY pizza available.
We never called NYC, Manhattan. We just refer to it as "the city".

I'm from New Orleans...Orlens like the lens on your glasses...and it's not Nawlins no one from here really says that and it makes anyone from her nuts when you tell us we do.
We drink Coke
Eat sandwiches and muffuletta's too but there completely different. Oh and how could I forget the po boy which is just a sandwich on french or french bread.
We make red gravy not spagetti sause
Red Beans don't come from a can
We eat breakfast lunch and dinner
A grill is considered the BBQ pit
When you get in a wreck you call a wrecker or tow truck...well actually NOPD will do it for you.
I have no clue what a roundabout is, but we have neutral...well we don't say the L so it's neutra grounds. It the grassy area between to streets going in different directions.
Never really heard anyone talk about a potluck...I guess we would just call it a party and everbody will bring something!!! We never run out of food here. There's more than enough for everyone plus some.
We drive on I-10 or the interstate
We don't wear underwear but sometime panties but most of the time we wear draws...the w is very long and sounds more like au
We have parishes not counties and some people are from The Parish or da parish(long a again) aka chalmette
We were tenny shoes and flip flops
That's all I can think of now but I'm sure there's alot more.
I love this post. I get that I sound like I'm from Boston alot, especially when I worked in the QUARTER (there's another one the French Quarter) but from what YA'LL (there I go again you all) have posted I don't see how that's possible.

After reading all these posts, and especially the ones about sandwiches, I can't help posting one of my favourite movie quotes. See if you can guess the movie.

TinkerBellT421 I'm not from RI but I understood most of what you said. Ok so I'm only over the border in MA., and I think vodka and Dell's is a great idea for the summer. For those of you that don't know Dell's is frozen lemonade (really good). Never understood the whole coffee syrup thing though. No suh other people don't say that really? Is that right up there with
nuh uh?

When I was a kid in Texas, we called all soft drinks "Coke". I would go to a restaurant and order a "Coke" and they would say "What Kind?" and my answer would be "Pepsi". Then I moved to Atlanta. When I would order a "Coke" I would get a Coke. It used to frustrate the mess out of me because I wanted something different.
Sandwhiches are subs.
Beano keeps you from getting gas.
Potluck is a meal where everyone brings a different dish and puts them on a table.
"Fixin" means you are about to do something (Such as "I'm fixin to go to the store")
If something is good you can say "That dog will hunt".
My wife has recently aquired the word "snap". She says it after everything and it's kind of wearing on me.
I get into debates with people all the time in regards to using the word "next" in reference to time. If today is wednesday and I say "next Friday", I mean two days from now. Everyone else apparently means a week and two days.
-
A co-worker of mine is from NYC. I just heard her say "up the crick" and thought of this thread! We do say creek here, so it really stood out to me. LOL.
-
Connecticut weighing in here...
We drink Soda.
We eat dinner...although my mother confuses the heck out of people by saying supper (doing the interchange with dinner )
Some people go to bingo.
We eat grinders.
We even have a few rotaries.
We go to the beach (not ocean or shore).
We grill (not barbecue).
We wear sneakers & flip flops. At work we wear heels...well, the women do anyways!!!
Everyone wears black. I figure it goes great with mouse ears.
We meet friends for drinks.
I haven't heard potluck since I was a kid.
We call Dairy Queen "DQ" and those colorful candies you put on the ice cream are SPRINKLES!!!!!! I grew up getting "double dip".
We have tag sales (not yard sales).
I don't say "wicked"...people would look at me funny!!!! LOL
This is fun!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I just thought I would throw in a few that are slightly different here in Northern California.
We drive on Highways and Freeways and when we call them by name it is "take Highway 50" or "take I-80" or "take I-5". In So. Cal freeways are proper names "take the 5" or "take the 110".
Now my husband and I differ on one item. We were both born and raised in No. Cal. and I call long sleeve fleece lined shirts sweatshirts and my husband calls them sweaters. I have no idea why or who is right on that one.
We have round-abouts, but I call them a loop.
We are now starting to get Sweet Tea (thank goodness!) at some of our restraunts. I even found a sweet tea maker at Target recently.
I also don't understand the difference between yams and sweet potoates. Sweet Potoatoes to me are the redish ones that are sweet and yams are the purplish green ones that are kind of slimy. However, my entire family, calls sweet potatoes yams.
We also allow u-turns and I know there are some places in the country that don't.
Thongs (the kind you wear on your feet) are mostly called flip flops.
We have Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and on Sunday, a late breakfast is called Brunch.
We have potlucks and barbque's.
We use garage sale and yard sale interchangeibly.
We use the words "cool" and "awsome" "seriously" and "whatever" and one that I don't get "like".
Pubs serve drinks and food and bars serve drinks. Clubs are for dancing.
Crayons are called "color crayons"
One that I'm really not fond of us is what men's tank top undershirts are called wife beaters.

Where do you buy your alcohol?
A packie
a liquor store
In Ma we "make a packie run" to get more alcohol!
Baptism or christening? Same or different?
Is everything we drive a "car" or do you differentiate between car, truck, van, SUV?
Seat belt or safety belt?

I didn't see anyone from Oregon yet.
First, we would all like you to know our state is pronounced Or-uh-gun - there is no y or long e in the middle and the end is not gone.
We drink pop and know that sweet tea is just wrong.
We have potlucks where someone might bring a pie for dessert.
We eat sandwiches.
We drive on highways or freeways.
We use rig interchangeably for all manner of vehicles.
It's a crick.
We eat brakfast, lunch and dinner except for Sundays and during harvest when dinner is at noon and supper is at night.
We get pictures taken not made.
The shoes were thongs now I guess we have to call them flip flops or sandals. (Which makes me feel old)
Sports shoes are Nikes (an Oregon company), but your nikes might be addidas. If they aren't nikes they're running shoes whether you run or not.
Linguistically we belong to the largest area of regional accent (which we of course interpret as no accent. My best friend is from Texas and we think we may enroll them in an ESL class so they can learn to talk Oregonian!
We don't call people sir or ma'am unless they are very old, we are in the military or we are being smart alecs.
