[JujuFish]

Simple question, simple answer. Which do you say?

Since leaving Buffalo in the early 90's, it has become soda. But I always crack a smile when I here "pop"

But I always crack a smile when I here "pop"

That word enrages me.

[SwampD]

That word enrages me.

What word? "Crack"?

[wjag]

Both... I just adjust to where I am..

[TM8-PL16]

i refuse to 'adjust'... soda is just gay sounding to me. :P

[darksabre]

Pop. But I find myself calling it soda more often after living in Rochester for a few years.

[Eleven]

Soda. And I'm from, and live in, Buffalo. "Pop" just sounds....stupid.

[SwampD]

Both... I just adjust to where I am..

Me too. And I don't even really think about it. It just happens

I didn't know they said soda in Rochester. They're so Metro.

[Stoner]

Pop.

[carpandean]

To me, it's soda pop, so either one is fine. I actually find it humorous, sometimes annoying, when people get so worked up over it being one or the other.

 

I probably say soda more than pop, but I don't care when someone says either. Technically, soda refers to soda water, which is carbonated water with distinct sodium salts.

I call everything a coke. Then of course I am from down south...jk

Did you know in parts of Virginny that Doctor Pepper is referred to as Doctor ?

[Guest Sloth]

Thanks to the military, I live on the gulfcoast of Mississippi. People down here don't use either word. They use the name "Coke." That's a specific beverage! I remember the first time I went out to eat down here, and a waitress asked me what type of drink I would like to have. I said I'll have a coke. She responded by asking me if I wanted a Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, COKE, etc... I thought it was a weird question, and I said I'd like a coke. I just think it is really dumb to use a specific beverage as a general term. I still say "POP,"and I won't switch to "COKE."

People down here also think the phrase "you guys" is gay. They go w/ "y'all". I don't have a problem w/ that. I just think it sounds rather hickish.

As a side note, I get picked w/, not at, by some of my friends w/ my use of the word "pop", and the phrase "you guys." They usually try to sound out "you guys" w/ out a souther accent, and they simply sound gay when trying to do so. Damn rednecks...

Is that the new king of Pop?

As long as it's not "yous guys".

[SwampD]

As long as it's not "yous guys".

Or even worse, the plural of yous - youses.

A) I agree and

 

B) A "soda" is also a drink made with ice cream, syrup and soda water. You don't see it around so much these days, though.

 

Both sets of my grandparents always referred to "soda pop" as a "soft drink". Of course, these days I prefer a little hard liquor with my soft drink.....hic!

I work with so many dumbasses, these words are heard often:

 

I seen (often accompanied by yous guys)

drownded

irregardless

could of

[Foligno's Nose]

It's 'pop'.

The debate is over.

'Soda' is club soda.

 

Anybody who says 'soda' to me is a backwards-ass jamoke who probably also uses:

• 'yous guys
  
• 'a-buck-two-fifty'
  
• 'git-r-dun'
  
• 'tap-a-kidney'
  

and other dumb things.

I say "I seen" but mostly just to piss people off and I don't say it naturally without thinking about it doing it.

 

I think "Could of" is actually the Could have contraction "Could've" sounds the same but then when people go to type it they for some reason lose their minds and disregard all of their learnings (not sure if that is a word but if SBC/Borat can use it in his movie title I say it is). I see the could of thing all the time too. I just don't think it pisses me off as much as you.

 

Oh yeah, I say soda.

[darksabre]

My pet-peeve phrase I can't stand is "these ones". I used to give my dad crap about it because he hated it, and then I realized that I too...hate it.

 

"These ones" is the automatic marker of a degenerate.

Like if someone asks "What ones do you want me to get" and the reply is "These ones"?

Yesss....even more so if I overhear both parties utter a variation.

 

And the worst thing is that it can be used to not only denote one item, but multiple items!

 

*pointing at two pairs of shoes* "I'll take those ones." "Which one?" "Both of em." :wallbash:

Ditto, but then yous guy's are those ones that I a agreed with most posts irregardless of topic and could of give a buck two fifty for your opinions, yous just always get-r-done.
