That gets me too! I work in Bellingham, WA and we get a lot of British Columbia, Canada shoppers.
They call the grocery cart "buggy" I call it a cart or basket
They call sneakers "runners"
They call bathroom is the "washroom"
When I asked my Canadian mother in law to "hand me my pocketbook" she looked at me like I was nuts
They call yarn (for knitting) "wool" (the stuff is made of acrylic!)
