Nope, I had no idea about either of those, especially the washing/laundry one. Liquor store surprises a lot less since what it's called varies from place to place even within the US. For example where I grew up it's called a package store or packy for short.

Because it's a shop usually located on the corner of your street? If it isnt on the corner then it's usually referred to as something you might not want to repeat

A "liquor store" is just an offy (off-licence) to me.

I think he means a cigarette but I have rarely heard anyone outside of the north east use that word in that context if he does.

It is predominantly a North East thing but I use a lot of slang and some is not related at all to where I come from.
