Most distinctive answers...

I have lived in about every dialect zone on that map. I can't even remember where different colloquial words and idioms come from most of the time. I am a complete linguistic mongrel.

There were too many that as a kid, I called it one thing, as an adult, I call it something else. There were some that I didn't know of as a kid, but know of as an adult. I ended up mixing things up.
