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.

That's a lovely collection of regionalisms. I use "maybe" that way sometimes, though more often I use "perhaps" in the same context - "you want, perhaps, a drink of water?"

And hee! on "make love." How language has changed over the years, eh?
