How do you say these things?

[flipturngirl]

In my class today we were talking about how everyone from different parts of the country say things.. And since most of us our from the same part of the country we say things similarly. So the first thing I thought of was "take it to DIS, a lot of people will chime in .. " hopefully

So I have a list of some questions that I thought would be fun to ask and see how you say them?~

1. the part of the house below the ground floor.
2. the kind of sandwich in a large, long bun, that's a meal in itself?
3. a small stream of water not big enough to be a river.
4. a round cake of dough, cooked in deep fat, with a hole in the center.
5. a piece of cloth that a women folds over her head and ties under her chin.
6. the common worm used as bait.
7. vehicles for a baby or small child, the kind it can lie down in.
8. a bone from the breast of a chicken, shaped like a horseshoe.
9. the place in the elbow that give you a strange feeling if you hit it against something.
10. very young frogs, when they still have tails but no legs.
11. what part of the country are you from? state? or world. ?
