Around here we say "hero" for a big, long sandwich (called a submarine sandwich in many places in the U.S. and called a grinder in some places).

We just call them "subs" up here in Canada.

Turns out "binky" is a regional thing. I'd never heard that term for a pacifier before.

Sugared carbonated beverages here are called "soda" but "pop" in many places and "tonic" in parts of Massachusetts.

Well though I am not from there anymore when I lived in new orleans we would call people who were cajuns coonasses. Which is not racial at all so dont go there. Anyone who is from the swamps and "backwoods" of LA are coonasses.
