How do say/What do you call....

So here's what we say in South Louisiana

So what word do you use for....

Hard candy on a stick? Me - Sucker
The cart you push at the grocery store? Me - Buggie
Where you get a drink of water out in public? Me - Faucet
Carbonated Beverage? - Coke.. Every carbonated beverage in the south for the most part is a coke.. Only Yankees call it pop or soda
A store where they sell alcoholic beverages - Me - Liquor store (All stores in Louisiana can sell Liquor on any day to include Sundays.. We even have drive through Beer barns and Daiquiri drive thru's)

And how do you say what we call your mother's sister? Ananann (sp?) fr. or simply Ant

Sucker
Buggy
Fountain
Coke - yes, everything in the south is coke!
ABC or Liquor Store
I pronounce like "ant"

Sucker, although sometimes it's a lollipop
Shopping cart
Drinking or water fountain
Pop
Liquor store, but mostly LCBO, which stands for Liquor Control Board of Ontario
We say Aunt (ant)

Same!

South central Pennsylvania here. An hour west of the Amish, half an hour east of the Gettysburg Battlefield, right along the Maryland border. People always ask if we're closer to Philly or Pittsburgh. I say neither. Baltimore is our "metro area".

Lollipop
Shopping Cart
Water Fountain
Soda
Liquor Store or Case Outlet--depends what you're buying. Its so complicated here! You have to go to two different stores in Pennsylvania for beer and liquor and the wine is at the liquor store. At the case outlet, you can literally only buy cases or beer. Although at a bar, you can buy a six-pack and our grocery store has recently opened a "beer mart" where you can mix & match bottles for a 6-pack, so apparently that's allowed now? It's all very confusing. This is one of the very few reasons why I miss Virginia. You could by a beer at the 7-11 and a 6-pack of Kahlua mudslides at the grocery store.
Ant

A few more:
How do you pronounce Water: Wahter or Wuhter? I say wahter, but it's very common in our area to say wuhter

What do you call the type of intersection where everyone slows down and merges around a circular piece of road? Here it's a traffic circle.

Do you put icing or frosting on your cupcake? Icing.

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, do you serve the turkey with filling or with stuffing? My grandmother says filling, but everyone else I know calls it stuffing.

Ok here goes:

Hard candy on a stick? Lolly or lollipop
The cart you push at the grocery store? Trolley
Where you get a drink of water out in public? Fountain
Carbonated Beverage? - fizzy drink
A store where they sell alcoholic beverages - Off licence
And how do you say what we call your mother's sister? sound like Aren't

What do you call the type of intersection where everyone slows down and merges around a circular piece of road? Roundabout, as mentioned in hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy (that's where I live)

How about this - bath, sounds like baath or Barth , I'm the second one.

wahter
roundabout
we use both icing and frosting, but probably icing more
we call it dressing

Watter
Traffic Circle
Icing
Stuffing - and it doesn't go "in" the turkey at our house

also from my first answers.... ABC store stands for Alcohol Beverage Control

I'm from Brooklyn, and it is a fact that we pronounce everything the right way over here. Not for nuthin, but I'm not about to waste my time givin' youse guys a grammar lesson. No disrespect, all due respect, fugeddaboudit. But anyway, it's gravy, not tomato sauce. It's a hero, not a hoagie, sub, or a poor boy or whatever. You order a slice, not a piece of pizza. And don't even start me on calamari and mozzarella.

Southeast Pennsylvania here (Philadelphia area). We say:

Hard candy on a stick? Lollipop
The cart you push at the grocery store? Shopping Cart
Where you get a drink of water out in public? Water Fountain (I put an extra "r" in there and pronounce it "warter.")
Carbonated Beverage? Soda

A store where they sell alcoholic beverages - Like Alicemouse said...this one's complicated. PA (pronounced "Pee-Ay") is so screwed up when it comes to the sale of alcohol. The state owns every store where you can buy hard liquor. They also sell wine, but not beer. I call it a State Store. As for beer, you can get cases at a "beer distributor" or 6-packs to-go at a bar. Some bars have a separate entrance for nothing but 6-packs. I call that a Take-out. Some supermarkets have recently been allowed to sell beer (6-packs and singles, but not cases) and wine. I just call that the Grocery Store.

And how do you say what we call your mother's sister? Ant

Do you put icing or frosting on your cupcake? This one's weird. If I'm actually putting it onto the cake I say I'm icing the cake. If somebody else has already put it on, I call it frosting.
If you celebrate Thanksgiving, do you serve the turkey with filling or with stuffing? Stuffing
How about this - bath, sounds like baath or Barth - I say baath.

One more:
What do you call the chocolate or multi-colored tiny sugar-filled bits that you put on ice cream cones? I think most people call them Sprinkles. I call them Jimmies.

And sorry, Mr. The Colonel, a sandwich stuffed with meats & cheese, topped with lettuce, tomato and onion, and served on a long roll is a Hoagie.

Soft drink
Off Licence
I pronounce it Ahnt

I pronounce it warter
it's a roundabout - all day long!!
icing

I should also say, there are a lot of Americanisms creeping into the 'proper' English language

Another interesting word is Aluminum or Aluminium.

In Canada and the US, we say "ah-LOO-min-um".

Many in the UK say "ah-loo-MIN-ee-um"

I've capitalized the emphasis.

Apparently, the word itself changed from Alumium to Aluminum and Aluminium and there are differing stories as to why.

LOL... I only know English (and a bit of French), but it's my understanding that English is one of the hardest languages to learn because there are so many variants of it and its full of exceptions to the rule.

Definitely sprinkles

In my bit of the U.K. It is al-you-MIN-ee-um.

How about underwear, we wear bra and knickers or pants and for the men it's pants or boxers (sometimes briefs)

As for the sprinkles, there are the tiny coloured dots = hundreds and thousands, or the longer ones = sugar strands/ sprinkles

How about the pavement or windscreen, boot (of a car) or bonnet (of a car)?

And why is the ground floor called the first floor in America...?

We say pavement, windshield, trunk and hood. I think ground floor and first floor are equally interchangeable here (I use both).

Of course, Canada and the US share many of the same words for things. There are some differences. In Canada we tend to say pop whereas the US (at least on TV shows) tend to say soda.

I had to go and look for this as I was only looking at this again quite recently. Written in 1922 (and not by, it would seem, a native English speaker either!), it's a very good lesson in probably pointing out how lazy we've become in actually saying words correctly!

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world.

After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Fe0ffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

English Pronunciation by G. Nolst Trenite

Enough said!

I'm out on that one!!!! I read the first couple of lines and gave up!

I say see-mint (cement)
Windshield but no "d" more WIN shield
Trunk
Hood - pop the hood!!

Same thing goes with pecan. Now, with this one it's tricky. I always say PEE-can but the ice cream I've always said Butter Puh-con not really sure why...

What do you hook up to the house to get water? I say hose pipe

North of Chicago you get bubbler for water fountain and it is "Melk" not Milk up there. And a long frosted donut is a "long john".

I lived in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan where they call a hooded sweatshirt a "bunnyhug"!

That sounds so much cuter than my English 'hoodie'

Hard candy on a stick? Lollipop

The cart you push at the grocery store? Shopping cart

Where you get a drink of water out in public? This is where it gets interesting for me, since I was born in New England and then moved to the Mid-Atlantic at the age of 10. In New England we called them bubblers, but after moving to Maryland and getting either confused looks or outright laughter, we learned to call them water fountains.

Carbonated Beverage? - Soda

A store where they sell alcoholic beverages - Liquor store, although I might say Wine and Spirits Shop, since that's what the state stores where I live now are called.

And how do you say what we call your mother's sister? In New England we pronounced it awnt, but after moving to Maryland we adjusted to the local vernacular and pronounce it ant now.

How do you pronounce water? I would say wawter, first syllable rhymes with paw or law.

What do you call the type of intersection where everyone slows down and merges around a circular piece of road? Traffic circle, although I've learned the term roundabout.

Do you put icing or frosting on your cupcake? Frosting

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, do you serve the turkey with filling or with stuffing? We grew up with stuffing, but I've picked up the Southern term dressing to mean the same thing. I mainly call it dressing now because I almost never cook it inside the bird anymore, it goes in a casserole dish and gets cooked separately.

Adding a few more as I read further:

I remember using the term jimmies way back when, but I would say sprinkles now.

AlOOOminum

The thing in the front of the car over the engine is the hood, the glass in front of my face when I'm driving is the windshield, and the cargo space at the back is the trunk.

When you walk into a building, what's the first floor you stand on? It's not the one up a flight of stairs.

PehCAHN

The thing I hook the hose up to is a faucet, same as the ones over the sinks indoors.

How do you pronounce the word route? Does it rhyme with boot or root, or does it rhyme with out or shout? In New England we grew up saying it the same as the word root, and I still use that pronunciation when referring to roads and such. But in the context of sending something around the office, I learned that in Maryland and pronounce it to rhyme with shout or out then.

Route for me rhymes with shout

The way I pronounce things changes dramatically when I am in Alabama. I just seem to pick it right back up!

My husband who is southern born and breed has NO ACCENT what so ever. It kills me just a little bit inside lol
