[quote=Anonymous]My side: "I need a coffee" or "Do you want an egg or a toast?" ("a" instead of "some") Adding a "the" where it's not normally found: "I'm going to the Shop n Save" "Aye-uh" = uh-huh, yes, sure (my grandfather and his friends say this constantly) Something really great or extreme is "wicked" - "It's wicked cold today" Husband's side is more grating, although to be fair, probably not to him: "She needs her pants changed" (for a baby) Snacks or sweets for kids are "nummies" City/place names get shortened, as if they're too much trouble to fully pronounce: Alexandria = "Alex", Minneapolis/St. Paul ="the cities" , Mall of America ="mega-mall" My MIL pronounces "scone"-- i.e. something one might eat with a cup of tea-- as "sconce", which is more normally found hanging on a wall [/quote]
