Any examples of regional dialect?

When I opened my “glove compartment” in California, everyone knew what I meant. In Nebraska, I have to say “glove box.” When I hear people order a “pop,” I wonder why they’re ordering my grandfather. As people merge onto the “interstate,” I ask myself why they don’t take the “freeway.” Isn’t it strange that depending on where you “came up,” you label the same things something completly different than someone who was “raised” somewhere different? What differences in dialect have you noticed?
