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.

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.

If you're from Indiana, you're called a "Hoosier." But the term could also refer to someone from a rural part of town and is interchangeable with the word "redneck."

While the rest of America uses the term "wicked" to describe something evil, parts of New England - specifically Boston - use the term to describe something that is great, cool, interesting, or fascinating. It can also be used to describe the size of something, as in "that is wicked big."

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).
