Ah... I have quite a list here too

(Despite what some here might think).
Mind you... I've only stayed in Louisville KY for a year in the 80's... things might have changed.
Here's a few I can think of right now:
FUNKED

Consumer society (shops open 24/7 ... don't exist here)
Capitalism
Literature
Music (not country tho...)
Beef
Your plate size in any restaurant
Beef jerky (5$ for a 100g here...)
Root beer, Dr Pepper, Cherry Coke...
Pancakes
I'm still decided to retire in Maine one day (no, not for building R2D2's...)
