So there's a woman at Yahoo Travel who compiled some sayings she overheard while traveling. So if anything's inaccurate, blame her.  But, if you find yourself laughing or even lightly amused, that's all me!

If we wrote down all the sayings I have picked up from my family you'd be thoroughly confused. But I digress. The woman polled people all over the country to find a unique slang term from all 50 states. Here's a dozen awesome ones.

Alaska - A "sourdough" is someone who's lived there for a long time.

Connecticut - Instead of a garage sale or yard sale, it's a "tag sale."

Florida - The slang is surprisingly southern, like, "She's happier than a seagull with a French fry."

Georgia - "That dog won't hunt" means "something is suspicious."  Which probably works for multiple southern states.

Indiana - Even though it's the Hoosier State, "hoosier" is used to describe someone who's a redneck.

Iowa - Instead of giving people wedgies, they call them "snuggies."

Maryland - A "chicken necker" is a tourist trying to catch crabs.

Nevada - "Pornslappers" are the guys on the Las Vegas strip slapping together strippers' business cards to try to get people to take them.

North Carolina - People use "buggy" instead of shopping cart.

Rhode Island - Instead of hot dog, they say "hot wiener."

South Dakota - A "hotdish" is a casserole.  Which works in Minnesota and other Midwestern states too.

West Virginia - Instead of Coca-Cola, they say "Co-cola."
