Oh, duh...found it:

Quote:
In parts of the U.S. around southern Ohio, Northeastern Pennsylvania and northern Kentucky the term "mangoes" (or "mangos") has sometimes been used to refer to bell peppers. However, as the actual mango fruit has become more common in the region, this usage has faded.
I used to work in a produce market when I was a kid, and thought WTF are these people talking about? Mango is a fruit!

Then you had the customers looking for them there Vandalia onions. Vandalia is where the Dayton INternational Airport is...not VIDALIA!

Oh, and, true story: my work buddy through HS and college had a woman from India come up to her and my friend thought she was asking her where she had been. My friend was like "um, I've been right here!?!" She wanted to know where the green beans were: where have you bean?

Those were such great times, sigh!
