I had a friend who married a girl from up north, and when he went to Thanksgiving dinner with her family, his mother-in-law offered him "Pee Can Pie." He said he would love a slice of pecan pie. They made fun of his pronunciation, and he looked the mother-in-law in the face and said, "Do you grow them here? No? It's 'puh-CAHN.'"

Then he explained that a pee can is what you keep under your bed so you don't have to go to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
