Surprisingly, Utah's nickname actually has nothing to do with insects. “The Beehive State" was coined by Mormons in 1847, when Brigham Young chose the beehive as the emblem of the Salt Lake Valley, representing the cooperation and teamwork that would be necessary to cultivate the land. |

This phrase can mean a few different things. Hospitals can use it to signal a serious threat or mass casualties. If a store cashier issues a Code 10 authorization request while you’re checking out, it means that she’s suspicious of you or your card. She’ll call your credit card company and answer a series of yes/no questions to evaluate the situation and call the authorities if need be. If you’re in a Walmart, however, Code 10 just means there’s a dry spill. |

This is an alert for a missing child that’s used in many public locations like malls, hospitals, supermarkets, and museums. Walmart coined the term in 1994 in memory of Adam Walsh, a 6-year-old who was abducted from a Sears and was found murdered. In 2003, Congress mandated that all federal buildings use Code Adam procedures. |

When airport security issues a Code Bravo, that means there’s a bomb threat or other security breach. Officials may actually yell it at people in the airport to scare them and make them freeze in their tracks so they can find the real threat faster. |

Dr. Firestone isn’t a real doctor, but you could hear the name in a real medical emergency. It lets hospital staff know there’s a fire in the building. The announcement would sound like, 'Paging Dr. Firestone to the fifth floor,' discreetly letting the staff know where the fire is without causing a panic. Some hospitals use Code Red to indicate a fire. |

Transportation officials in the U.K. use this as a subtle code for a fire or bomb scare on railways and the London Underground network. After the Manchester Arena bombing, public announcements called for Inspector Sands to 'please report to inspect and control.' |

Pan-Pan is an international radio signal that alerts others of a serious emergency on board a plane, boat, or other vehicle, but does not pose an immediate threat to the vehicle or the people on board. While someone may use Mayday when a plane is about to crash or there’s a fire on a ship, Pan-Pan could mean a boat has a slow leak or there’s a problem with a plane’s engine. |

If you hear a time check announced over a loudspeaker in a store (it may sound like, 'Time check, the time is 1:30'), there’s a bomb threat. Shoppers who know what this code phrase means should leave immediately, but store employees must reportedly try to locate the bomb when they hear a time check |

Like police codes, not all hospitals use the same emergency codes, but generally, Code Blue means someone has gone into cardiac arrest. |

In New England, children drink from "bubblers." The term "bubbler" - more specifically heard in Boston and Providence - is used to describe a drinking fountain. In fact, a North Carolina State University study found that only 18% of people in the US use the term "bubbler" and most of them are in the Northeast. |

Since "gnarly" originated in surf culture, it makes sense that it is mostly used on the West Coast. It can be used to describe something that is difficult and challenging or something that is especially cool. |

Sandwiches go by many different names around the US. For some, they are "heroes," while others call them "subs." But in the Northeast, they call them "grinders." Sometimes the term is used to distinguish a hot sandwich from a cold one (the hot sandwich being a grinder). |

Flocking to the Northeast just to look at fall foliage will earn you the title of "leaf peeper." It isn't necessarily a compliment," but lately travel blogs and publications are taking ownership of the word and prompting people to travel to fall-centric destinations. |

Freeways are most popular in Los Angeles where people can access the high-speed road at any point. It's also common for people in this region to call the freeways by name, including the word "the." For example, someone in Los Angeles might say, "You have to take the 405." In other parts of the country, it's simply called a highway. |

Life in New York was already expensive enough, and then the state had to go and sneak in a bagel tax on its most iconic breakfast food. If you buy an uncut bagel or a bag of bagels, you’ll walk away tax-free. But if you ask for the bagel to be altered in any way, you’ll be charged sales tax — which totals a steep 8.875% in New York City. State officials indicate that the tax applies whether you simply ask for the bagel to be cut in half, or get the classic lox and a shmear. |
