In Columbus, Ohio most children of my age were taught to say "please?" instead of "what?" or "pardon?" or "huh?. Probably, because there were so many German speaking people there and I think they used the word "bitte" which I THINK means please, or pardon or what or huh.
I have several different groups of friends here and one uses words like wicked good and ****er and pronounces all words ending in er with the "R" silent. I have one friend who uses the term, "He ain't right" meaning that he most assuredly is delusional. Share some terms, words and phrases that draw a blank from new friends who came from different places. Or words that you don't understand. If you hear me say; I haven't had this much fun since the hogs ate my half brother, please don't believe we had hogs or I have/had a half brother. Oh come on. This might be fun.

In New England wicked = extremely good or bad, usually good. And many words that end with er we usually substitute the er with an a. Lobster, we say lobsta. Gloucester we just say Glousta.
