You know, I see a lot of spitting in my workplace, Blah. Nothing against my Mexican co-workers (we're BUDDIES), but man, they spit absolutely everywhere. As for my community, I can't really think of any habit around here that's outside of the ordinary. However, I do recall traveling around the New England area, and people have this habit of saying "of" when telling the time to indicate the proximity to the next hour. For example, "twenty of five" means it's 4:40. That's a bit odd to me. =/
Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Wow, I didn't expect so many people to sound off on the time bit. No, not everyone tells time like that Pang, as Namek pointed out. Here in the midwest (and everywhere else I've ever lived), and perhaps (though not positive) everywhere else, we say "twenty til five". Being up in the Binghamton area, I heard everyone using "of", and I took notice immediately because it was the first time I've ever heard it being used like that to tell time. I mean, it was part of the language, being used on local radio and news, everything. Trust me, it's a regional thing.
There's another thing I've noticed. Again, I have no idea if it's New England being different from everywhere else, the Midwest being different from everywhere else, but throughout my entire life mostacholi has always been mostacholi. Having encountered dozens (maybe hundreds) of people while in the proximity of the food and hearing them call it that, while also hearing and reading that name in culture, and seeing freezer goods with that name and never anything else, I've always thought that THIS:  was mostacholi. I swear to God, that's what it's called around here. However, while I was up North, when I heard people talking about "Baked Ziti", I had no idea what the hell they were talking about. Furthermore, when I told them that it was mostacholi, they had no idea what the hell I was talking about, and vice versa back at home. I'm starting to think that maybe that latter is the norm, considering I'm finding a lot of mostacholi pictures in Google Images when I type in "Baked Ziti", but almost none when I actually do type in "mostacholi". Kinda makes my head wanna 'splode. Okay, I'm done. There's nowhere I can't reach.
