What Do You Call It?

 Welcome to Tuesday 4 which was started by our friend Toni Taddeo and kept up in memory of her.

 Different sections of the USA have different words and customs they use. Let's talk about them.

1. In New Jersey you put your groceries in a paper bag or plastic bag.  In Athens, Ohio where I went to
university, you put them in a paper sack.
Is it bag , sack or something else where you live?

I wrote these questions and my answer is actually in the questionsl  

It's bag in New Jersey whether plastic or paper or the new degradable ones.

2. Though no one seems to wear them anymore, NJ says  Stockings.  

 Athens,  Ohio used to call them "hose" and in Britain they are tights. 

What about where you live?
Here is New Jersey it would still be stockings no matter what.  Tights are the heavy colored things you wear usually only in winter or they are for ballet.  Also we wore them if a skirt was too short.  

3.Soda, Pop, Coke? 

We are soda.  If you ask for coke you will get a Coca Cola.  If you ask for a pop you might get a smack!

Hero, sub, grinder, hoagie?
 In most of New Jersey they are called submarine sandwiches or subs.  As you get closer to Philly they turn into Hoagies.

4. Shopping cart or trolley. buggy?   

 What do you call it?   Shopping cart is usual here in New Jersey.

Thank you for coming by and taking part.
