(n.) Did you go to the courthouse to get your tags yet?
I asked one guy from New Jersey about his tags once. He didn't know if I was talking about something you wear (i.e. credentials, press pass, etc.), or what. Then I said, "No, a car tag." He still had no idea. He thought he was supposed to put something in the rental car. I explained that it went on the back of a car and he said, "Oh, you mean my plates." I honestly had no idea that anyone would not know what I was talking about when I mentioned a car tag. Just another reminder of how wonderfully different the language is in different regions of the United States.
