Plural of you is "yous" in Green Bay WI. "Yous going to the fish fry on Friday with us?" Or some people will say "yous guys". "Yous guys going with us for a brewski?" A brewski is a beer, BTW...

Because you believe it's pop doesn't make it right. Because I believe it's soda doesn't mean that I'm correct either. We're both right.

On Long Island, those that live in eastern LI and plan on traveling west of the town Riverhead say they are going "up island".

Words that tell everyone your hometown!
 
Boston. Words ending in "ER" are pronounced "AH". Tuna fish is pronounced "Tuner"and if you wish to change the channel on a television, you turn the "tuna" not the "tuner".
