Who calls things differently

[Lonesome Dove]

Anyone call things other names than what they actually are?
Maybe I'm weird but some people get a kick out of it especially if I don't tell them what I'm talking about. Some are pretty savy and figure it out. Other times I just get a WTF type look. I'll start with this and what it actually is. Maybe someone will get it right off....... Flat birds = tree leaf

Not really calling things by different names but Ive picked up alot of northern sayings from my wife and some of the folks on my dads extended side of the family. Atleast I am guessing they are northern because I never heard them from my parents or relatives from the south.

Jerkoff
Sure as shit
Shit for brains
Shit the bed
Screwed the pooch
Numb nuts
Heavier than a dead hooker (there is a racist version of this I heard when I was hunting in PA before)
My one brother in law from up there calls black people Canadians for reasons I wont bring up but Id never heard that before ever

One thing that always stuck out in my mind was how casually people up there called each other assholes. It wasnt even meant to offend them either. Theyd just use it in casual conversation with no malice intended. Example: "I was talking to some asshole the other day and he said it was going to snow".

I call my dog asshole for this reason

My wifes coworker was an old bird who just passed away recently. One of her sayings was "more frustrated than a lockjaw at a fag party"

We all are in the South. Lunch at Noon, Supper at night. "Dinner" is something one gets an invitation to and must dress-up for !

Sometimes I say co-workers when I really mean a bunch of window licking, football fornicating, mouth breathing monkeys in a three ring circus.
