how about the New England term for a milk shake:

cabinet

which is about the same thing as a

frappe

depending on how far up or down the coast you are from Boston

Thinking of this one only because I'm packing food (specifically, right now, oatmeal and granola) for a kayak trip this weekend (you'd be proud of me eKat, 3 days in a sea kayak in north Florida!!! Ab's not going, tho, even tho she does now have a doggie life jacket - which she deplores...; she'd turn into gator snax... yikes!!):

Who pissed in his Wheaties/Corn Flakes?

More sellers than buyers. - Journalism for security prices went down. (like some sales were one-sided?)
More buyers than sellers. prices went up.

Prices rose as investors were attracted to higher yields. - More journalistic gobbledygook (about bond markets).

I must have been in northern New England. Heard of frappe, but cabinet is new to me as well.

in the mid 70's asking for a "regular coffee" in California would get you black with no sugar

in New York city it would get you a coffee with sugar and milk. I remember learning to order coffee at the deli Moma Joy's on Broadway in the Upper Westside near Columbia as "coffee black no sugar"

You had to say it faster than they could pour it for you

what's the deal with "chicken fried"

I think that baked alaska could be on some southern menus as "chicken fried ice cream"
