Flip flops . . . . thongs (that one can get really interesting!)

Etc, etc, etc.

i'm from Rhode Island and we use the term bubbler too, but thats just the tip of the ice berg. A sub sandwich is a grinder.

I call soda "soda" but I've heard people call it "pop". In NJ we drink iced tea at restaurants, and down in the South they call it "sweet tea". In England and elevator is a "lift" and the bathroom is the "loo". In Spain, the bathroom is "W.C." which stands for "water closet".

Sometimes I refer to ruined milk as "blinked;" some people think that's funny. My mother always said the milk "blinked" when it soured.

I just learned what a "Fish Camp" is. I find it hard to believe that there is no camping OR fishing involved.
