This post is brought to you by our total confusion at my mother-in-law’s insistence on differentiating between dressers and chests of drawers. Also, the more times you write "drawers," the stranger it begins to look.
Coke/Pepsi: Soda OR pop?
What you put on ice cream: Sprinkles OR jimmies?
Furniture you put clothes in: Bureau, dresser, OR chest of drawers?
In your living room: Sofa OR couch OR (ala my grandmother) davenport?
Evening meal: Supper OR dinner?
Bonus: What interesting regional slang did you grow up with? The two most striking examples from my childhood (in southern PA) are:
"The milk is all." (All gone)
"Go red up your room." (clean up)
