I am not a Boomer, just got called a Boomer in another thread. I missed the cut off for Boomer. I am either better than a Boomer or older than a Boomer whatever you prefer.
We are a blended bunch here in The Villages. We say things and pronounce things quite differently from each other and I believe that some areas of this wonderful country have a little more "attitude" than my mother would have tolerated.
We were all raised with some things that sound normal to us and funny to others. Some people call that delicious dark brown liquid that many of us start the day with "Cu-aw-fee and I call it Cough-ee.
What do you say or call things that are a little different from other you have met here in The Villages. Just for fun.
Is it brisket or "cheap roast"? at your house??? Is it umbrella or bumbershoot. Do you eat hot dogs or franks?

We drink pop, not soda or soda pop. We don't eat hoagies or grinders, but rather subs. We also don't eat hot dogs - we eat hots (and burgers, too).
We eat plates - that's short for garbage plates, which consist of (2) Zweigles hots, preferably 1 red and 1 white or 2 cheeseburgers or one of each, over home fries, baked beans and mac salad, then covered with meat sauce. This is what we call HIGH CLASS EATIN' in Rochester, NY
Here's a great video on our plates -
