"Sneaker" is no more common where I'm from than "tennis shoe". We called it a "runner" or "running shoe".

Stinkbugs Invading Parts Of Ohio
COLUMBUS -- An unpleasant invasion is underway in many homes as stinkbugs are making their presence felt -- and smelled -- in central Ohio.

The bugs, which emit a displeasing odor from their abdomens, usually spend winters in piles of leaves, rotting wood, or loose bark, but they have no problem spending the season inside homes that are not properly sealed.

"Most of these insects can get in through crevices about a sixth of an inch," said Gerry Wegner, the technical director for Varment Guard, a pest control business. "Then, they follow more heat and light that might peek in from the living space, and that brings them right into our area.''

There are ways to deal with the presence of stinkbugs that find their ways into homes, including vacuuming. Wegner recommends the use of a shop vac instead of a traditional device due to the bugs' tendency to release their odor as they travel through the tubes. Pesticides can also be used to combat a stinkbug infestation, and typically take a half-hour to kill the insects.

Wegner also has a tip for homeowners who become victims of the bugs' most notable attribute: baking soda can be used to cover the insects' smell.

Dude, we have those fucking things EVERYWHERE this year.  There's even one living in my office.  His name is Bruce and he won't leave.

I am surprised that "tennis shoe" is such a common usage in the US given the small percentage of the population that actually plays tennis.

Maybe that explains it.  Most types of sneakers are not really optimal for playing tennis.

When I grew up we only called high tops tennis shoes. Others were called "Turnschuh" (gym show).

Ed, what do you have to say for yourself?

I'd argue that it is probably more likely that Ohio survey takers are more honest than elsewhere.
