I was raised in Boston. If I'm not actually playing "tennis," then I think calling sneakers "tennis shoes" is just plain ridiculous!

I've noticed that my vocabulary has changed quite a bit since I moved from Eastern KY.

I guess Michigan is Upper Midwestern? I have no idea what that one word even is, "croller" or however it was spelled. Anyone know what that is? It's definitely "pop" and "grocery cart" and "drinking fountain" and "tennis shoes". I think that cellars and basements are two different things.

I noticed they don't have a West Coast or Southern California English! LOL! They could ask "Do you ever say 'dude'?" or "Do you say 'like' a lot?" or "Do you speak slowly?"

Lucy, a cruller is basicallly a glazed or sugared donut. Around here, it means a fried cake made of two twisted pieces of dough. Though some people will call a ring-type donut a cruller (to me, a round donut is a donut). Hey, do you think we could get Krispy Kreme to twist some of their dough and bring the word "cruller" back into use?
