I watch a lot of English shows and like how they say "come through" instead of "come in".

There are some words/phrases the British use that I really like. 

'Gobsmacked' is one of my favs.  In this moment, that's the only one that comes to mind, but I know there are a couple others. 

Oh, and there is 'bloodyhell'.   (I put that together because I don't know if you can say the second part of it here, but it's harmless.)

And they also call a Dr.'s office a "surgery" which scares me.

How do you say the fruit Apricot?  I say APE pricot like a gorrila.  Some say APP pricot like an app on a phone.

At work if we want to get rid of papers we say "nuke it". (In the shredder).

ITA with NJ.

One thing my husband does that annoys me (just a little - I'm over it) is his pronounciation of certain words like receipt, hotel, motel.   He emphasizes the first syllable.

I say "app" like a phone app.  Gulf South native here.  Where are you from, @mormel20 ?

I'm from WV and say a-pricot.

Different regional ways...???

...."you'll get choked" doesn't make sense and isn't grammatically correct. 

Not a fan of the way southerners speak.
