I was born in NE Illinois and spent most of my life just over the state line in SE Wisconsin. When I came to SW Ohio, just across the river from Kentucky and a few miles east of Indiana, I had to learn a lot of new words and phrases.
What I thought were "cookies" down here are "cakes."
What I thought were "green peppers" down here are "mangos"
We used to write with a "pen" and fasten stuff together with a "pin" but down here both are called a "pin."
Here we wash dishes in a "zink" and it gets cold in "Dezember."
When you don't hear what someone says, instead of saying "huh?" or asking them to repeat it, you say "please?".
Some older folks refer to a "car" as a "machine" while others pronounce "car" like "core" like an apple core.
