Give me your favorite regionalism (whether from where you are originally from or where you live now or just one you've heard) and its "translation."

Bring your jimmies, your frappes, your elastics, and your bubblers. Stand in line, on line, or queue up. Just share your favorite regionalism. 'Cause I know that my friends list includes people from all sorts of different areas. And I'm a language nerd.

Well, the dictionaries say origin is unknown, so it's possible. Seems unlikely to me, though.

Another favourite Canadianism: "two-four", referring to a flat of beer (containing 24 cans). For that matter, "flat" might be too, in place of "case".

"flat" of something makes me think of flats of plants....

Yeah, plants and, specifically, strawberries were what first occurred to me.
