Re: Regional Words
In Chicago ice cream cones were generally scoops.
A chain called Prince Castle used a cube scoop and a square cone and you got a cone built up with cubes. This was also done years later in Payless Drugs.
A famous stand near Blue Island on the far Southside had Rainbow Sherbet cones made of slices of different flavor sherbets stacked on a 30 degree angle vertically (it was a few blocks away from a Prince Castle)
And back on subject - a friend from New Zealand calls the city dump "the Tip"
