Regional slang words

[Trip in the Head]

I saw this online today and I thought it would make for interesting conversation here since I have had many a conversation on this topic previously in my life. Also, since many of you on here are from other countries I thought that might up the intresting level a little.

Do you use any of the ones that pertain to your area? I can say that the 2 that were mentioned as being specifically from Maine I NEVER use, but most of the generic New England ones I definitely use.

Yeah that guy is wicked annoying (see I used wicked!) but I thought the topic might be fun. Especially the soda vs. pop vs. whatever one

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I say soda. Anything else is barbaric

My grandpa used to call Soda soda water lol. Then again, he also called a pillow pillar, so maybe it was a early 1900 thing.

Huh, I think they still technically make soda water. Or am I thinking of seltzer water? Probably

 

[Farooq]

Soda water is still made, but he called all soda, soda water lol.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

soda water is like club soda, no?

 

[Farooq]

Yes it is. I make it at my house all the time.

hella obviously. never noticed a disproportionate number of people referring to soda as anything. some say coke, soda, pop, ect. mixed bag. I always cringe when people say 'pop' or call shit that isn't coke coke though


Now that I think about it though rarely do I refer to soda by anything other than whatever it is. if I'm drinking Mountain Dew or dr pepper I just refer to it as that
