One that may be peculiar to PA is "sliding board." When my Western-PA sister-in-law called to tell me my nephew broke his leg on the sliding board, I knew what she was talking about. When I told the story to non-PA parents of toddlers, every one of them said, "What's a sliding board?"
(It's a slide. I don't know why PA'ers sometimes add -ing board, but we do)
