Re: Regionalisms

Being from Boston, let's not forget "jimmies" instead of "sprinkles"...

Also, when I was very, very young, my mother taught me uppy-duppy, one of
those "languages" like Pig Latin.  Then along came PBS' Zoom (based in
Boston) where they taught the nation ubby-dubby.  I was so thrilled to be
ahead of that curve!  Now the show is back and I can astound my students
with my fluency in that language (I can even speak Fruppy-Duppy -- Uppy
Duppy in French).
