Always was a sunshower to me - many times a rainbow to shortly follow based on my experience


Saw these before and crayons was a local one that stuck for me. I don't think they did Jimmies (in Philly Jimmies are something you eat and not wear)

Apparently people in the St. Louis and Milwaukee areas feel really passionate about saying "soda" rather than "pop"... Also, look how red the Mid-Atlantic/NE region and Northern California on that one are...

Funny, I am originally from Chicago but I always called the rain-while-the-sun-was-shining a sunshower.
