I've never heard "Toad Strangler"in all the time I've lived here in Florida.

It being Florida, I'd assume that term involves a perversion so unpleasant we'd be better off not knowing its definition.  :P

Someone should make an equivalent map for British slang; though I'm not sure what the specific regional words/slang in the USA were about.

It means heavy rain. Stop projecting your Ontarian perversions onto others.  :P

I grew up in Florida. I'm 6th generation Floridian. My family moved to Florida in 1820, 25 years before it became a state. I'm the most Floridian person I've ever met.* And I've never heard the word "Toad Strangler" either.


*Ignoring that I haven't lived in the state in over 10 years. And that Florida today is much more associated with descendants of northern or latin american transplants. Also not including any Seminole Indians I've met (and I mean the real Seminole Indians, not the racist assholes in Tallahassee).
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Hey, half the Ontarian dirty old perverts now live in ... Florida.  :P
