Still throws me off to hear someone at a tailgate event or party to ask if you'd like to play cornhole. It just sounds like a male prison activity!
And ladies that advertise for the Queen City originally had me thinking it was for cross-dressers. But the ads read normally.
Granted, I've only been in NC for about 15 years so maybe I'm still hung up on the FL use for such terms.
And a pig pickin' is an awesome activity once I went to one, but at the start I had NO idea what it was. Having been cow tipping growing up, I thought maybe a pig picking was where you picked up and stole a pig.
Do the rest of you imports have other words/phrases that left you a bit dumbfounded upon arrival?
How about Barbequed yard bird??? Did a double take when I saw that one on a menu
