Sunday

My neighbors and I were recently talking about Mackinac Island. The other neighbor asked, "Where's that?" The one neighbor said Michigan and I added, "In the U.P." I had to explain it meant Upper Peninsula because then they started cracking pee jokes after I said U.P.

In Buffalo, people mention the Ohio Valley and New England, especially meteorologists. I had to ask someone about it once because these areas are generally not mentioned in Indiana.

Sometimes these phrases are regional I believe.
