Nomenclature, Regional Variances

[Shannow]

A problem that I have around here, is that I was born in Victoria, where we say castle. In the state in which I live, everyone says "carstle".

At least it's not as bad as when I lived in Adelaide, where the also said "plarnt"

 

[Crashbox]

That just reminded me of another colloquialism- we do NOT "wash" our clothes at all in this state; we warsh them in Warshington.

They seem to do that in parts of Ohio too.

Anybody who sez pop instead of soda in my presence gets a fist to the jaw.

oh, and we don't have pick-up's here, we have ute's (short for utility) and they are four wheel drives, not SUV's (although that Americanism is starting to take hold)
