I have no idea whether I'll really encounter more than these words that are different from California slang. If I don't, just think of this as "History of the World, Part I," but with Midwestern slang.
Today's word: ramp
Ramp: A parking structure.
"Is there a ramp nearby that I can park in?"
This really confused me - why would you want to park on a ramp? But it's IN a ramp, not ON a ramp. And they really say it.
I also love "Michigander," meaning a person from Michigan. Here I thought it meant a goose from Michigan.
Wow.
