Is the weather term you would use to describe a hot, humid summer day something like wicked hot, totally hot, brutally hot, hot enough to burn your biscuits, or something else?  This isn't necessarily a regional answer, but WE say that it's STINKIN' HOT!!

Do you call a sandwich of deli meats and cheeses on a roll a hoagie, hero, grinder, po' boy, submarine, or something else?  Submarine or sub.  

Having flapjacks, pancakes, or griddlecakes for breakfast?  Pancakes or flapjacks.  My dear daddy used to say, "flapstacks." 

Are you having relatives, relations, family, or kin over for a cookout, barbeque, BBQ, or grilling?  If they are immediate family members they are "family;" if they are extended family they are "relatives."  And we have them over for a cookout. 

Do you turn on the spigot (pronounced spicket) or call it something like a faucet or tap?  Kitchen or bath is a faucet; outside is a "spigot." 

Do you have frosting, icing, topping, or something else on the top of your cakes?  Icing.  Although I have heard folks say that they needed to make some icing so they could frost the cake. 

Will be having a dinner or supper tonight?  We are breakfast, lunch and supper people. 
Do you use the word trash, rubbish, waste, or garbage in your neck of the woods?  Kitchen = garbage; bedrooms and baths = trash.

What do you call the insect that looks like a large thin spider that skitters along the top of the water? Waterbug, Jesus bug, waterstrider, watercrawler, backstrider, etc....  Skip-jacks!

You know that accident you saw on the road the other day- the one where traffic was crawling by? Was it called rubbernecking, gaper's delay, gawk block, Lookie Lou, etc... ?  Rubbernecking.

What do you call the ends of the loaf of bread- a heel, end, crust, nose, shpitzel, future bread pudding...?  Heel.

Do you have a basement, cellar, bulkhead, or do you call it something else?  If it's dry and live-able it's a basement; we live in a 170+ year old house with a mostly dirt and stone walled cellar.

What do you 'call' when you want to lay claim to the front seat of a car? Hosey? Dibs? Shotgun?  Shotgun!

When you say, "I'm going to the city.", which city is it?  Dayton, Ohio

It was fun to read your answers, Kim. My husband and I have a mixed marriage. I say breakfast, lunch and dinner and he refers to them as breakfast, lunch and supper. Somehow we have managed to stay together for 25 years inspite of it all. Ha! Have a great day.....................Denise (prairiemom)
