Great Thread!! Born in NJ moved to Ashland, Ohio when I was nine. When we first moved to Ohio, I was first confused as to what pop was. Mom never bought any pop or soda saying water was good enough and better for you anyway. We ate hot dogs though some folks called them weiners. Of course a Dachshund was known as a wiener dog. Dinner was served at 6:15 PM and proper English (no slang) was always spoken at the dinner table. My grandmother (not grandma!) was horrified that we were allowed to wear T shirts to the dinner table. and she wouldn't think of going to a dance in blue jeans. Those were work clothes. The 13 inch black and white TV was never in the living room but in the playroom. That is until I went to college and a 25 inch color TV showed up in the living room.
Thanks for the trips down memory lane.
