This might be a fun thread. Ask any dialect/vocabulary related question that you want to know the answer to, probably could look up but never did, and feel like getting a quick explanation from your friends at EN World.
Ask anything you like. Answer questions you know the answer to. Be nice - just because there are things in the world not exactly like the things right where you are right now or people who don't speak exactly the same way as you do doesn't mean they're better or worse. Our differences should be enjoyed. It'd be rubbish if we all sounded liked identical robots when we spoke!
I'll start. In US movies I often hear an event called "Homecoming" referred to in relation to schools. What is it, and where are they coming home from?
