Helping out our co-workers

It's becoming obvious that as American's we owe it to our foreign co-workers to explain some of our "non-standard" english. So, this blog is meant just for that. As I come across words they don't get they'll go here so they have a reference when they don't get it.

First word: Booze. Booze is slang for alcohol. It could be anything, bourbon, scotch, vodka, tequila, etc. It also could be for beer and wine but they are typically not referred to as booze. Most people don't say booze, but you will hear homeless people and guys that hang out at the local tavern at 8am using the term liberally.
Comments:
Are people from New York or Tennessee considered foreigners? They can't understand me, and I can't understand them.
 
Uh, no.
That's cuz you've got a Wis-connnn-sin accent.
