Being from Rhode Island and now living in Texas I get a lot of grief. I say pocketbook, not purse; cellar, not basement; Aunt, pronounced ahnt not ant; bureau, not dresser; and carriage, not shopping cart. I say sneakers, yuz guys, and God bless you, not just bless you.

“Carriage” for shopping cart? Now that’s just wrong!
Are you trying to give me a hat attack? Hmmmm.

How odd... I grew up on Long Island, my parents came to LI from Brooklyn and we used all of your examples interchangeably with the exception of carriage/shoppingcart (we said shoppingcart).

“I say pocketbook, not purse”
Isn’t a purse carried inside a pocketbook?
How did they react to the word “toothbrush” in Texas?
JUST KIDDING!

One of the mechanics who worked at the family coal mine liked to add a verbal exclamation point to his declarative sentences. He would say, “Well, I changed the oil in the dragline. What I did.”
