Differences in globalization
will be merged...
A lot of the above words are being
used by Americans, Brits
who communicate with one another ...
We,the non-english native speakers
can pick up whatever phrases we 'd like to use
:-)
Btw
Let's have a look ..
Northern New England
ayuh, ayup: "yes"
Newyorkese
bodega(spanish): a convenience store.
hero: submarine sandwich.
youse: you (plural, but also singular).
North Dakota
uffda: Norwegian slang for crap. {e.g. "Uffda that stinks!")
Michigan
Davenport =(sofa,)
Minessota
Pop: the common name used for carbonated beverages.
Midland
for here: in the question "for here or to go?" Other regions use the phrase "to stay or to go?"
hoosier: someone from Indiana; also a hick or a redneck, low class.
husker: someone from Nebraska.
suckers: lollypop
Southern Louisiana
Flying Horses: Carousel, Merry-Go-Round
How's your mama an 'em: How is your family (mother and them)
West
Potlatch: a social gathering
Regional vocabularies of American English.
Does anybody of non-native speakers say Bloke?
Everybody say the american Dude,now.
Holywood rules..
The yankees impose their
americanisms on the britishmen
and the other anglophones..
Why we call it english?
Is it not american,anymore?
:-/
That 's not true
Americans also use british
terms like wanker(jerk)..
and bollocks(testicles)...
international use of the term in this sense is in the title of the British Sex Pistols album
"Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols"
"Wanker" has been used openly in British and Australian film and television productions in reference to the second term of use (ie; an idiot in the perjorative sense.)
Although "Wanker" is the 53,492nd most common surname in the United States,the term has been picked up and used extensivly by American television producers and writers who use it freely to mean a simpleton, not , apparently, realising it is taboo slang and not appropriate to the use or context - much less the target audience- to which it is applied.
Wanker - wikipedia
A word that could be much offensive to some place,is not to another one.

A short Spanglish conversation:
* Anita: "Hola, good morning, cómo estás?"
* Mark: "Well, y tú?"
* Anita: "Todo bien. Pero tuve problemas parqueando mi carro this morning."
* Mark: "Sí, I know. Siempre hay problemas parqueando in el área at this time"
Spanglish:)
