SODA SODA SODA SODA SODA!!

my cousins are from the midwest and they say pop. but they call my grandpa "Pop" too. somehow i have a problem with that.

Woops to everyone if I started anything.... but it's clearly pop people. Soda is a yank term. A very dated yank term. Woops if I just started a yank vs canuck war or something.

Maybe I better just end my post right here. :oops:

I knew that was going to happen.

you east coasters and your "soda."

My school is filled with kids from the east coast, so the east coast kids usually call it "soda-pop" to stop pissing us Midwesterners off.

so canadians say pop too? not just midwesterns? hmm...i could imagine myself saying "pop" cause it's very upbeat, but i was born and raised on soda, so i'll stick with that for now. how abouts, soda-pop. that'll satisfy all our hungers.

geez, i started up some nasty nasty spam...as usual :mrgreen:

soda-pop? That's even worse. Damn peace-keepers!

it would suck if i were responsible for dividing the CM all up into cliques based on verbal preferences...i gotta keep the peace... :nod:

nelison · Post by **nelison** » 8/21/2002, 10:34 pm

it's kinda cool all the subtle differences between everyone... like something as simple as saying pop or soda (or soda-pop i guess) is turned into a huge deal, and it seems so odd...

luckyJQ9 · Post by **luckyJQ9** » 8/21/2002, 10:36 pm

it's sad. we seem so close on the board, but it makes you realize that you really are so far from one another, far enought to call a beverage different things. that sucks...

Okay, bedtime...peace all. :mrgreen:

when I was in Maine, I went to an ice cream store, and the sign read: "Jimmies, 25 cents." I was like, "Jimmies, WTF? :wtf:

"

Jimmies= sprinkles :nod:

luckyJQ9 · Post by **luckyJQ9** » 8/21/2002, 10:39 pm

oh geezus..not the jimmies war. i get yelled at for that all the time. i call them jimmies and i'm the only one i know in my area who calls them that. everyone is constantly giving me weird looks. :lol:

nelison · Post by **nelison** » 8/21/2002, 10:41 pm

so you mean to tell me my name also means sprinkles?!?!
thats kinda cool, I've never heard that before... wow

superboots · Post by **superboots** » 8/21/2002, 10:44 pm

yeah..those east coasters have some interesting names for things. :mrgreen:

luckyJQ9 · Post by **luckyJQ9** » 8/21/2002, 10:45 pm

well...technically your name means sprinkle...singular...unless your name is jimmies....hehehe. i don't know where they use the word jimmies...all i know is that i'm one of them, one of the few...the proud. i also call it a blinker instead of a turn signal...i don't know anyone else who does that either.

I usually call them sprinkles, but sometimes we call them jimmies...And once I heard them called "hundreds and thousands" o_O

superrgirll · Post by **superrgirll** » 8/22/2002, 9:38 am
