In grade school, the music teacher would push in the bench piano to the classroom and she/he would play music and we would sing. After class the teacher would say, can someone help Ms Rogers push the bench piano.
Where I come from we also refer to shopping carts as buggies
We call rubber bands gum bands
We call a vacuum a sweeper
We don't call icy roads slippery....we say slippy
I am originally from western PA and the Appalachian valley region has their own speak.

I've been in Pittsburgh for ten years and I still hear the accent from my friends and coworkers here regularly. The first time I heard a coworker say "Dahhhnntahhhnn" I was so confused. So, three of those things I've ONLY heard in WPA, but I will say my upstate/western NY family has often used sweeper for the vacuum. My grandma would always say she had to "run the sweeper."
