"Fell out".....I heard this for the first time years ago in Indiana and it took awhile to learn that meant "passed out" or "fainted"!

And how about how friends in Pittsburgh and area say "torenament"...."have to take the kids to a soccer torenament".

.....And then we'll have THANKSgiving dinner (not Thanksgiving)....

It's all fun! We live in a great country!
Tounament. Ahem... How do you pronounce the word "four"? I believe we Pittsburghers are on to something there.
