Does anyone outside of Ohio use the term "pop"?

That surprises me. I guess though when I travel it's usually South and I always hear either soda or coke. I have spent a fair amount of time in Michigan, and have heard it called soda more often than not.Con_Alma;706276 wrote:Holy crap! Apparently so.

I say it sometimes just to annoy people. I actually say Coke a lot but that's just because it's my favorite and if I am drinking a soda pop it's almost always an actual Coke.justincredible;706278 wrote:I say soda almost 100% of the time. That makes me hweird since I'm from Ohio.

Other, lesser-used terms include ‘dope’ in the Carolinas and ‘tonic’ in and around Boston, both fading in popularity. Other generic terms for soft drinks outside the US include ‘thavoice;706290 wrote:I always say pop......so, according to that map......there are some places they dont say pop, soda or coke and just say 'other'?

op’ (Canada), ‘mineral’ (Ireland), ‘soft drink’ (New Zealand and Australia). The term ‘soft drink’, finally, arose to contrast said beverages with hard (i.e. alcoholic) drinks.

You know whats funny is sometimes I say Sody Pop just because it pisses one of my friends off and is just fun to say. When I moved to Ohio I normally called it Soda Pop and she hated it haha. Now I mostly just say pop though because its what everyone else says.thavoice;706302 wrote:Had the same thought when i said it myself!

That map of common soft drink names seems particularly complex and detailed. Did they really get responses from someone located in each little box?

I lived in Atlanta for 10 years and every type of soda/"pop" was called Cola. Another common regional term from the South............Fixin

That's surprising. I would think in Atlanta everything would be called Coke.

You are correct. I meant everything is a Coke.

Do you pronounce these differently because I don't.
I do not pronounce them differently.
I also pronounce Dawn and Don the same. I work with people that have both names and it is always confusing when I have to work with both of them, for some reason.

That reason is probably you pronouncing one of the names wrong.FatHobbit;706418 wrote:I do not pronounce them differently.

I've lived here for 5 and still don't sound like that because that's how the woman talks and I make fun of her for it. Everyone at work still makes fun of me for my southern accent. It's still there. When I first moved up here, I remember waitresses having trouble making out what I was saying. They acted like I was speaking a different language.
Oh btw, while you lived up here....Ore-gin(like Ted Ginn) or Ore-gone?

Interesting to see how people pronounce Oregon. I know I pronounce it Or-uh-gun, which is obviously incorrect.

The one near Toledo...Ore-gone. I just say it the way people in Toledo say it. The state...I say Ore-gin.sportswizuhrd;706453 wrote:I've lived here for 5 and still don't sound like that because that's how the woman talks and I make fun of her for it.
