I am not in TV yet, but noticed differences in parts of NY, such as, stoop vs porch; pop vs soda; basement vs cellar. I was surprised the first time I heard some say they stood "on line" vs "in line". I think that is a downstate NY term. Also, I worked with some from Michigan who was shocked that noone knew what Ham Buns were. Other than her, I have never heard of Ham Buns!
