And in Vancouver, north is where the mountains are -- so you always know what direction you're in by where the mountains are!

Like Kaili, I've never referred to them. Following your instructions, I just posted the first thing that came to mind. Now, if I saw a similar thing in the homes of my friends who quilt, I would think of them as quilting pieces. (In that scenario, they would all be matching, arranged near a sewing machine, probably with a partially-made quilt nearby. )

Oh, I have got to stop giving directions! Mak, how come you didn't tell Annie how to get to your house? Doesn't it go somethin' like, "Oh, you can't get heah from theyah" ? Say, who hijacked this thread anyway?!!!!

Just in case you think that I am making this stuff up as I go along...ahem! Donuts, or as Puppy says "do-nots" are also called cymbals and even cruellers (I know!) in some places. In Chicago, hopscotch is known as "sky blue" and in Manhattan it is known as "potsy." In my orbit, pot-lucks are known as pot blessings and just as Schoolmarm said, they are known as "pitch-ins" in Indiana. In northern Illinois, they are known as "scrambles." I like that one! Scraps of cloth are called "scrids" in New England or "squids." In the South, they are called "scrimption." If you would like to provide "official" input to the great debate over what to call the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street, check HERE. Babyruth's "lawn extension" sounds great to me or Kitt's "grass verge." I think that I have one or two more days worth of stuff and then we'll allow this thread to fade gently into the grass verge. (That is, unless any of you have some to share.)

Today’s What do You Call...it 1. What do you call the season before winter? 2. What do you call this pulpy green edible fruit with a large pit? 3. What do you call this sort of food item suitable for taking to a pitch-in? 4. What do you call a small body of running water held within its own banks? 5. What do you call what’s slathered on the top and sides of a cake (besides poison) ?

1. Fall 2. Avocado 3. Casserole 4. If it's little it's a Creek, if a bit bigger a stream. Big ones are rivers. 5. Frosting on a regular cake. Icing on a wedding cake. (MOM decorated wedding cakes and we had a distinction in the fridge...you could eat the frosting but not the icing!)

fall avocado casserole stream frosting edited to add, just scrolled back to the last set. "Lawn extension" is something I never heard before moving to SE Michigan, but it's what they say in this here neck of the woods. The city/town owns it and is responsible for any trees on it.
