...variation of it? Example: I was raised getting jimmies on my ice cream whereas all my friends called them sprinkles. Jimmies was a term that was used in my parents home town.

No, of course not. There are diff ways of saying certian things
btw i call them sprinkles as well, lol
and i say soda, not pop.

I've lived in enough places where I know there are many different lingoes out there. However jimmies was a brand new one for me when I first heard it. There actually was an ice cream store called Jimmies and yummy! they put jimmies on all their cones.

The one that bugs my DH ALOT is around where I was raised we used the term "boughten". As in "I had just boughten a watermelon yesterday so we don't need another". IDK why, grammatically it makes no sense but that's what people say! It's a western PA thing I guess.

eta,,, oh and there was this news clip stating all the different ways to say a sandwich... like grinder, sub, hoagie. There were so many, like 8 different terms.

I've been transplanted in the South....

...I say "pop" and get mercilessly made fun of for it.
