Besides State lines, food culture and other factors that make each U.S. State unique -- there's also language that only locals will understand.

The United Slang of America is a fun interactive map with each State's favorite slang term.

Compiled by Slate, the map may have visitors to Vermont wondering what a "creemee" is, how "christmas" is celebrated all year in New Mexico, or why "jug handles" drive non-New Jerseyans crazy.

Did they get your State slang correct, yinz?
