Pop or Soda?

Here in good ol' NC (especially the backwater parts), it's referred to as one of the following (listen in order of how often it's used):

Sumpt'n'ta drink (something to drink)
Soda
Coke
Actual name of drink
Cola
 
Sumpt'n'ta drink... gonna have to ponder that one for a while... ONLY the backwater people would say something like that... well i gotta go see Y'ALL later...:D Lol

In England, we use 'pop' too. We also sometimes refer to them as 'cans'

Wow, I can't remember that. I only remember calling them "fizzy drinks" or some such.
 
Soda, but only used if it's not Coke. If it's Coke, then it's Coke. Definitely not "pop". What's that shit? I also heard that in Canada, if you ask for a "candy bar" you get laughed at. They say "chocolate bar" no matter what.
 
sumpt'n'ta drink. heh. forgot bout that. it's always like that when my friends are over.
"Hey Tim. ya got sumpt'n'ta drink?"
"Yeah. whadya want?"
"Got any coke?"
"Yeah what kind?"
"Whadya got?"
"Well we got Code Red, Coke, Mount'n Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sprite (etc.)"
"I'll have a....."
or
"Gimme a....."
 
Found some more backwater lingo:

Colleges & Schools is requesting billions of federal dollars to teach
"Y'allbonics" in all classrooms south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Yep. And if you know all that, you know that the secondary use for a car key is Q-tip. :D
 
Yes. Car keys are q-tips. And makeshift knives, if the need arrises. I've even seen keys used as screwdrivers (though they tend to be hard to drink).
 
in new england the lingo is fairly simply...anything ending in -r turns into -ah,
car becomes kah
dresser becomes dressah
water becomes watah
and so forth
and for emphasis we use wicked instead of things like mad, narly, etc...
"It's a wicked pissah the sox lost yestahday"

HHEHEEHHEHEHEEEHHEEHEHEHE!!!!!!

*bustts head on table*

ohh that was just ffuunnneeee, right dare

Mann, I dun't ussee my southnern y'allbonhics too offtin.

Not even in real life, so that is just funny. Best part was trying to guess the pronunciation before I read the definition and usage. Jawjuh just threw until I saw it used.

Hey, wouldn't it be kinda funny if everybody added in their own pronunciations in their posts.

Hmmm... I see that most everyone calls soft drinks coke in the south. But, yeah we ask for coke and get asked which kind--except in resturants where coke means coke'k'cola.
 
I told you Canadians are weird. :)

Completely off subject, here's a picture of myself at age 13, wearing a homemade flight suit during "Character Day" at my school. I was Col. Blair.

EDIT: Yes, I am aware that 1) the thumbnail looks really bad and 2) In that picture, I look not only stoned, but just plain ugly. Sorry. Couldn't help it. Kinda like how you can't help how ugly you are now, biatch.
