I'm grateful to finally know what a jumper is. Thats the word I meant. Maybe in my sub conscious I remembered a sweater in Brit is called a jumper. That would drive me nuts in brit movies and books!
"What is a jumper???" (My mind going crazy).
Ages ago, when I lived near Chicago, a jumper was a sleeveless dress worn over another top. So I would be confused when a male, in a British book or movie, was putting on a Jumper.
In Wisconsin some people steal from Canada and sound like they call a house a "hoose" and hockey is "hookey." I think it is very cute!
In Boston, I didnt think New York???, the "r" is often added or taken off, depending on the word. Also in my opinion very cute/sexy?? Example: Quarter sounds like quartah."
When I was a teen and vacationed in Michigan, i got ribbed for my Chicago accent. I would brush it off and say "Chicagoans dont have an accent." To which my Michigan friends would quip "I'm from Chicawwwgo and I dont tawwwwwk funny." And we would all laugh.
A pet peeve of mine is people who say Illinois with the "s" attached! It is a silent "s"!
This is fun, and, yes, I am up late with a cough that is keeping me awake!
