A Unique Slang Term From Each State

Photo: opnlttr.com

There is a disclaimer on this list . . . it’s based on the opinions and research of one woman at Yahoo Travel. So if anything’s inaccurate, blame her.

 

The woman polled people all over the country to find a unique slang term from all 50 states. Here are our 12 favorites . . .

 

 

Alaska . . . a “sourdough” is someone who’s lived there for a long time.

 

 

Connecticut . . . instead of a garage sale or yard sale, it’s a “tag sale.”

 

 

Florida . . . the slang is surprisingly southern, like, “She’s happier than a seagull with a French fry.”

 

 

Georgia . . . “that dog won’t hunt” means “something is suspicious.” Which probably works for multiple southern states.

 

 

Indiana . . . even though it’s the Hoosier State, “hoosier” is used to describe someone who’s a redneck.

 

 

Iowa . . . instead of giving people wedgies, they call them “snuggies.”

 

 

Maryland . . . a “chicken necker” is a tourist trying to catch crabs.

 

 

Nevada . . . “pornslappers” are the guys on the Las Vegas strip slapping together strippers’ business cards to try to get people to take them.

 

 

North Carolina . . . people use “buggy” instead of shopping cart.

 

 

Rhode Island . . . instead of hot dog, they say “hot wiener.”

 

 

South Dakota . . . a “hotdish” is a casserole. Which works in Minnesota and other Midwestern states too.

 

 

West Virginia . . . instead of Coca-Cola, they say “Co-cola.”

Someone Paid for $20,000 Worth of Layaway Items at Toys R Us

Photo: forthemommas.com

We’ve seen several stories like this the past few years. And we hope we KEEP seeing them, because they never get old.

Last Wednesday afternoon, an unidentified woman walked into a Toys R Us in Bellingham, Massachusetts. (About 40 miles southwest of Boston.)

And she told one of the employees she wanted to pay for some layaway stuff. But not for her . . . for EVERYONE who had things on layaway there.

After it was all said and done, she’d dropped 20 THOUSAND BUCKS to pay for more than 150 people’s layaway items. The only thing we know about her is she’s an older woman who lives in the area.

It’s at least the second time this has happened in the last week-and-a-half. Earlier this month, there was a story about someone who paid for $15,000 worth of layaway stuff at a Walmart in Ohio.

And according to a spokesperson, 597 layaway orders were anonymously paid for by people at Toys R Us stores across the country last Christmas.

Top 5 Biggest Fears That People Have

Photo: wordpress

What are some of the things that you worry about daily? Family? Money? Researchers at Chapman University in Southern California just released the results of a national survey. Here are the top five things we’re afraid of;

1. Walking alone at night. 20% of people said they feel “not safe at all” doing it.

 

2. Identity theft. 19.6% said they’re VERY afraid of it happening to them.

 

3. Lack of safety on the Internet. 11% of us feel unsafe when we’re online.

 

4. Mass shootings. 8.9% said they’re legitimately afraid they could be a victim.

 

5. Public speaking. 8.8% of us are “very afraid” of doing it.

 

The survey also asked what people WORRY about the most, which is slightly different;

For that question, the top five answers were: Identity theft . . . companies tracking our Internet activity . . . running out of money . . . the GOVERNMENT tracking Internet activity . . . and coming down with a serious illness.

Things You Won’t Hear Your Dad Say

Photo Courtesy: SheKnows.com

In honor of all the Dad’s out there, please enjoy the Top Things You Won’t Hear Your Dad Say. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

 

Boy did I make the right decision choosing one woman to have sex with for the rest of my life.

How did I feel when you wanted to play the viola instead of football? Ecstatic, of course.

This Father’s Day I want nothing more than to be with you kids and your mom.

Why didn’t you just say you wanted to drop out of college and become a street musician? Let me buy you a new harmonica.

There’s no way I can build that new addition . . . I have minimal experience and substandard tools!

Thanks to menopause, your mom looks hotter than ever.

You’re right, honey. The NFL RedZone package is taking me away from you on Sundays. I’ll cancel it.

Even though you still live in my basement, son, I’m glad you’re my namesake.

There’s no way I’m going to stop and admire that classic Corvette in the grocery store parking lot.

You SURE you want to go to college? It would be a shame to see all that stand-up comedian potential go to waste.

Ugh, enough with the Bob Seger music!

Thanks, but Old Spice is a bit too strong for me.

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to invest in a sensible Dodge Caravan?

Instead of me trying to fix this, let’s just call a repairman.

You’ll never catch me in a pair of Dockers!

I’m proud of you. WHY? WHY? WOULD IT HAVE HURT TO JUST SAY IT ONCE IN A WHILE? Uh, sorry about that.

I love and respect your mother way too much to hit on the golf cart girl at this golf course.

A clogged-up sink? Well, I certainly lack the knowledge and expertise to handle that, better call a plumber!

No beer for me, thanks. I like to watch my football sober.

Your mom and I are having way too much sex.

Gonna skip watching football today . . . don’t want to miss the big clearance sale at Linens & Things.

Honey, would you please go to my computer and look at my browser history, and then clear it, please?

Don’t call what your mom does all the time “nagging” . . . it’s constructive criticism only meant to make me feel better about myself.

Actually, you kids have it much harder now than when I was a kid. I had a spoiled and entitled childhood.

According to this article in “Cosmo” . . .

I get tons of compliments when I wear dark socks with sandals.
