Great thread! I grew up in suburban Cleveland and was surprised when attending OSU in Columbus. People here put groceries in a sack not a bag. In Southern Ohio, they poosh the door open. Our neighbors had a dog named Bootch (Butch). Of course, there they warsh and wrench their laundry. My neighbor wouldn't let her son piece (snack) between meals. People on the East Coast seem to interchange bring and take. We use bring when we keep the item with us and take it when it gets left somewhere. I bring my lunch to work but I take my trash to the curb.
