"Same difference" - an odd way of saying that two apparently different proposals or problems etc are in fact the same no matter which way you view them.

I heard these all the time growing up ... and still do.


When I moved from southern to northern Virginia, people often asked me if I was from Kentucky or some such because I said things like "y'all" and "over yonder". I was constantly having to explain that I was from the very state we were in.


Just goes to show how much language can vary ... even in a relatively small geographic area.
