Bizarre Slang Words and Phrases From Every State

"The United States is a vast and diverse nation with a huge assortment of languages and dialects. It's perhaps no surprise, then, that in a country with at least 350 languages, you find a great deal of variation in the slang terms—some of which are downright strange. These bizarre phrases come in all types, some of the most common of which are place descriptions; another common source of regional slang is local sports; nicknames for non-locals are another source of slang in many states. Then there are examples of regular words that have different meanings in certain parts of the country. To give a shoutout to some of the country's most bizarrely endearing slang, Stacker has put together a list featuring the weirdest phrases from each state. Take a look to see how many you recognize." - slacker.com
