Re: sneaker/tennis shoe



When I was much younger, I found that I had to make certain changes in my

vocabulary every summer as I moved back and forth between New Jersey (old home)

and Chicago (new home). In New Jersey I had to remember to say sneakers or

sneaks and in Chicago I had to remember to call them tennis shoes or gym shoes.

I also heard some of the boys call them keds or high tops, but I forget where I

was at the time.



  Other things I had to remember:

    New Jersey BUNS   Chicago SWEET ROLLS

          Bread       Light or White Bread

          Soda       Pop

          ____       Berm
