Dakota: My family sez I get owly all the time! In common use on this end of Canajer!! Owly: crabby, irritable, uncommunicative.
We use "pop" up here for "sodas" that I think is pretty common south of the 49th...
Here's an older one: the early '50s Caterpillar diesel tractors had a little gasoline engine starting motor- up here it was called a "pup" motor, in the US it was called a "pony" motor, in the UK and I think Australia it was called a "donkey" motor. Some of the big old John Deere two cylinder diesel tractors had them, too.
