    On the regional word topic, does anyone else say sweeper instead of vacuum? Idk if it's a regional thing or not but my friend from a different state had no idea what I was talking about when I said I needed to run the sweeper and he is convinced it's just my family that says that.

    We say sweeper instead of “broom”, but we still say vacuum.

    Random but when I moved to Oregon I was so confused cause I'd never heard the term barf. Only puke. Like where I grew up people didn't dramatically go "Barf!" so I was confused af for a while around here. Crick instead of creek also got me. And rig. And people here say pop instead of soda which always got under my skin lol

    I think barf is something I knew well from cartoons and books but not something people actually said

    I say puke or throw up. It was just a dramatic regional expression here I think cause classmates would say variations of "ugh that makes me wanna barf!" Or "barf!" to things they didn't like, but I had never heard that before and I was too shy and insecure to ask what barf meant so I'm pretty sure I just laughed and nodded along even tho I had no idea

    Barf sounds like a loser kid’s name from a 90’s sitcom

    I knew someone was gonna say it was weird lol My dog growing up was named Rowdy and when my grandma would come over she’d feed him stuff off her plate and he’d end up puking so we started calling him Ralphy lol Another weird word from my family.

    Like when people call a truck a rig? Altho my grandpa is from Ohio and calls cars rigs so that might be more widespread but I think it usually refers to trucks idk I don't say it but when I mock the people of this area because I'm a douchebag I tend to say something like "let's pop in the rig and go fer a ride to the Crick and drink a pop."

    Fun must be always. Prestigious

    I work from 3 pm to midnight and when I get home I can’t usually sleep until like 1 am.

    It sucks when I have classes on Tuesday/Thursday’s because I wake up at 6:30 am and I am basically dead tired since I have school at 8 am.

    I fell asleep in class today and it was super gross

    I’m trying to make a list of like 10 things to do during my next 2 days off from work so let’s see if I actually manage to go through them all.

    Ugh bless u for that schedule I could never. I could do stuff like that in college but I can't now. I'm in bed at like 8:30pm and it still doesn't feel like enough (mostly cause I have issues waking up a zillion times a night)
