My dad's favorite was "a few bricks short of a load"

We say "dumber than a pound of nails." Hehe, I think all 3 phrases mean the same thing though.

Outside of Jersey they have to add that they "headed to the Jersey Shore" in NY you are going "to the Island" little further north you are going "to the Vineyard"

No one in the Lehigh Valley area of PA says the Jersey shore...they just say they are going "to the shore" or "down the shore"​

Some one might have posted this but in WI

Bubbler = Water Fountain, it called that because the first water fountain was made in Kohler WI and the water pressure bubbled out the water

I think ya'll have forgotton turtle hull. My grandmother always called the trunk of her car a turtle hull and I forget what she called her glove compartment. I think it was a squirrel box, not sure though.
Also, my mother's family and my dad's family have always argued about what the metal pipe under the driveways are called. Mom calls it a whistle, and dad calls it a tin horn.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this one yet. My grandfather was from Vermont, and he used to say A'yuh all the time.

How about Peepers?

I love listening to them at night. They are a type of frog (I think tree frog but not 100%) and they make a peeping type noise that is so soothing and peaceful.

Actually in recent years the Jersey shore has some of the cleanest beaches in the country.​

There is actually a Jersey Shore, PA and it is neither near the shore, nor near NJ!
