Delaying choreography, a short language break

About my dialect of English, since it's going around, and I enjoy that sort of word stuff. It's what I get being the child of a speech pathologist with a masters in psycholingusitics.
Age: 19
Where did you grow up? Hamden, CT
What do you call ...
1. a body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks?
A stream

2. the thing you push around the grocery store?
A shopping cart.

3. a metal container to carry a meal in?
A lunchbox- of the old fashioned variety. (In theory, since I love Oz, also a dinner pail, but I haven't ever seen one. But it sounds exciting.)

4. the thing that you cook bacon and eggs in?
A frying pan.

5. the piece of furniture that seats three people?
Usually a couch, occasionally a sofa. Or an oversized loveseat.

6. the device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof?
A gutter.

7. the covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening?
A porch. If it's more indoors, to the point of having screens, a sunporch.

8. carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages?
Soda.

9. a flat, round breakfast food served with syrup?
Pancakes

10. a long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself?
If cold, a sub, if hot: a grinder.

11. the piece of clothing worn by men at the beach?
A bathing suit, swim suit, or occasionally trunks.

12. shoes worn for sports?
Sneakers.

13. putting a room in order?
Depends on the degree: minor cleaning is straightening, more invested cleaning is cleaning.

14. a flying insect that glows in the dark?
A firefly.

15. the little insect that curls up into a ball?
Pill bug.

16. the children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down?
A see-saw.

17. how do you eat your pizza?
This isn't a language question- but holding with my hand, starting at the tip.

18. the act of private citizens putting up signs and selling their used stuff?
A tag sale. Or an estate sale, if they've died and their children are selling almost everything, generally without doing much cleaning first.

19. the evening meal?
Dinner usually, occasionally supper. It's supper time, but we eat dinner. Go know.

20. the thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
A basement.

21. An unusually heavy rain which does not last long?
I don't know, quite honestly. It doesn't happen so much.

22. A window covering on rollers that pulls down?
A windowshade or shades. Curtains are the things that pull shut from teh sides, or hang decoratively next to the windows. Those ones that cover only half the window are just useless.

23. A new, limited access, multi-lane road?
A highway.

24. Heavy garments worn for work?
work clothes? junk clothes?

25. The area in the house where people usually sit?
A living room or den. A living room is to a den as a parlor is to a living room.

26. What do you call a drink made of ice cream put through the blender?
A milkshake, I think... Although I don't know if they require ice cream.
