another way some around here refer to the sack/bag is actually "poke" or "poke sack"! Appalachia has all kinds of sayings like that.

Yeah I think topper, runners and biro are exclusively Irish terms. At least I haven't heard them being used anywhere else.

My answers are all the same as Thparky's with the exception of rubbish. We call it garbage in my parts

Although very rarely and only by a few people I know, mostly in the mountains. It's an old saying for sure.

I am from the south. I will say I am going against the grain around here. I did live in Colorado for a while so perhaps that affected me a bit.

Just kidding of course! Being in Atlanta I'd really expect you to call all soft drinks "coke" as in, what kind of coke would you like? Lol, maybe SC is the only place that says buggy ;)

They say "coke" and "buggy" here. When I refer to it as a "cart" they look at me funny. LOL

Lol. I'm still getting used to southern talk. Here in Texas colors means crayons. And lunch box is lunch pack.

I hear Texas has some oddball things that they say. We do not use those terms in Ga. LOL
