Slight Differences

Throughout my stay at Purdue I have learned a variety of new words. Even though the majority of my friends are from the Midwest, we all have something that is unique to our own home. Some of the weirdest ones I've heard were slippy and creeper. If it rains it is not slippery outside, it is slippy according to my friend from Pennsylvania. I've described things as creepy before, but I've never used it as a noun in the form of creeper! This word was used a lot when we went to the Rocky Horror Show! I always argue with my roommate as well about pop. She calls everything coke. She told me that at a restaurant you order a coke and then the server will ask what kind you want. By me you can ask for pop and then specify which brand. If I asked for a coke in a restaurant that is what I would be given! My last favorite one is the clicker/ remote/ channel changer/ flipper. This one can vary from neighbor to neighbor. There seems to be no regional standard on that one whatsoever. In my opinion however, it is a clicker! These slight differences bring entertainment to the slow parts of the day!
