Slotted spoon.

I like saying "on the world" instead of "in the world". Like, "that's the best thing on the world". Then I heard some other weirdo say it, but that's ok.

I haven't heard that one.

In the NY/NJ metropolitan area, we say we "stand on line" instead of "stand in line". My friend who moved to the DC area 30 years ago still says "on line" and gets called out all the time for it down there.
