Plaster goes on walls. Or in Paris.

Hoover is like our south calling all soft drinks "Coke."

I got made fun of by a moron from Minnesota years ago for saying that I was going to the grocery. He insisted it was incomplete, without store following it.

What do you guys say?

A man goes to a supermarket and asks to buy half a head of lettuce. The very young produce assistant tells him that they sell only whole heads of lettuce.. The man persists and asks to see the manager. The boy says he’ll ask his manager about it.
Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager,
“Some idiot wants to buy half a head of lettuce.”
Just as he finishes his sentence, he turns to find the man standing right behind him, So he added,”And this gentleman would like to buy the other half.”
The manager approves the deal, and the man goes on his way. Later the manager said to the boy, "I was really impressed with how you got yourself out of that situation earlier, where are you from?"
"Minnesota." the boy replied.
"Oh, why did you leave?"
'‘Sir, The only things from Minnesota are hookers and hockey players."
"I'll have you know that my wife is from Minnesota." Said the manager.
"No kidding?" replied the boy. "What team did she play for?"

Sorry, I would use the word "store" with it too. But you know what would be interesting? To make a poll, asking southerners. It could be a regional or perhaps a usage in your area.
