Slate came up with a slang word that represents each state. Ohio is carry-in meaning a pot luck dinner. I have never once heard that word. KY is chughole meaning a pothole. Indiana is Hoosier.

I've lived in Ohio for almost all of my life, and I've never heard that term. I don't go to many pot-luck dinners though...

I would think it referred to restaurants that don't sell alcohol but allow you to bring in your own wine.

Yes. It should.
Maybe 'carry in' is a NE Ohio thing. It's a whole different state up there.

Someone in the comments suggested pony keg for an Ohio or at least Cincinnati word. Is that not used anywhere else?

It's used in other places. It is used in a Johnny Cash song.

Indiana is the "hoosier" state but what that means is subject of debate. Known a jillion people from all over Ohio and never heard one say "carry in." I have head potholes and holes in a field or a yard referred to as "chuck holes" but not "chugholes." The guy who wrote that sounds like a real chughole to me.

Yes, I've heard it a million times at work over the decades. Anytime there's a special occasion (someone retiring, returning from leave, etc.) they send out an email to have a - I swear this is true - carry-in. Can't believe no one else has heard of it. Everybody brings on something. Usually I buy donutes so nothing has to be cooked.

That would make sense in Kentucky where the majority of it was dry until the last decade or so.
Dunno what the **** a chughole is.
I'm guessing some guy who hasn't been out of parent's basement since college wrote this piece?
