Feel free to provide yours as well. Always funny to see how different people and areas converse somewhat differently.



  • firefly vs. lightning bug
  • tennis shoes vs. sneakers vs. runners
  • soda vs. pop vs. coke
  • sprinkles vs. jimmies
  • thongs vs.  flip flops vs. slippers
  • highway vs. freeway
  • buggie vs. shopping cart
  • toboggan vs. wooden sled vs. knitted cap?








These are the kinds of things no one realizes really, but as soon as you go on vacation somewhat far, you start to get some weird looks at times.

This is part of the reason!  :lol:

fart smeller vs smart feller
It feels good to be running from the devil
Another breath and I'm up another level
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now

I have always used e-way as short for expressway. And most people say pop around here, but I like to say soda or beverage and see the funny looks I get.

The trick to being a good stalker is always having weed.

If they catch you stalking just say "wanna smoke some weed?",

If they say "no"... fuck em.


You don't need that kinda negativity in your life.
