This ones comes from Sheila in Kennebunkport:
lozenger: n., a small medicated tablet intended to soothe the throat. (Brand of choice in Maine? Obviously Fisherman's Friends.)
She also mentioned that she didn't learn that it was called a lozenge until she attended college out of state.
This happened to me recently too. I was commenting on a cool parker that I had seen and was corrected that it is actually called a parka. Now I have lived "away" for 12 years and I just learned this!
