Interesting! What is a toboggan, in terms of the hat? I've never even heard of that...the only thing I know as a toboggan is either a long sled without runners made out of wooden planks that are curved at the front, or a cheap thing that's made out of molded plastic that's also used for sledding or tobogganing. I wouldn't call either of these things sleds, although they're used for sledding; to me, a 'sled' always has metal runners.
I've always said soda but an hour south of my hometown, it's called pop. They say gumband there too. And what's a bubbler?
Anyone know what a hoagie is? It's kind of like a hero, sub or grinder, but it's a very specific kind of italian style sandwich that NEVER comes with mayo
Good karma goes to anyone who can also tell me the right way to make a hoagie!
I know this topic on regional slang has been repeated loads of times, but I still think it's fascinating.
