State and local weird names for normal things

[gotnitro]

By me in northern IL, we call it pop! If you ask me for soda, I'm bringing you a glass of soda water. If you ask me for a pop, I'll ask you what kind. I know down south, you ask for a pop or soda, they bring you a coke. We also call a drinking fountain a drinking fountain. In RI and WI they call them bubblers. Weird to me, yes!..

What are some normal things that have weird names in your part of the woods?

Please post the word with a definition.

From the south (east coast)

Fixing’ to… = getting ready to…

Snap beans = green beans

Kansas

"There's a tornado coming" - The rest of the world = hides in basement. Kansas = go outside and look for it
Pop = Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, etc.... Soda = wtf?
Cornhole = Yard Game
Burnt Ends = Delicious BBQ
BBQ = REAL, delicious BBQ...not just pulled pork smothered in store-bought sauce
Puppy Chow - A snack made from Chex Cereal, Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Powdered Sugar
"We're not in Kansas anymore!" - It's a State Statute that any Kansan citizen must utter this to fellow travelers when we cross the border out of Kansas into a neighboring State.

Where I grew up in the SF Bay Area, If I ask you for a Coke, you'd better ask me what kind of Coke I want. Like this:
Waiter: You want a Coke?
Me: Yeah!
Waiter: What kind of Coke you want?
Me: Hmmm, how 'bout a Mountain Dew?
Waiter: You got it, here's your Coke!
