Snow
What it means everywhere else: A light, flaky type of precipitation that falls from the sky every winter.
What it means in North Carolina: If it's more than half an inch, the city is shutting down. Also, let's just hope you get to the grocery store in time or you'll be out of luck.

Blue
What it means everywhere else: Literally just a color.
What it means in North Carolina: It's still just a color, but you need to be specific. Do you mean Carolina blue or Duke blue?
