yes I'm from the midwest and said 'pop', it's Pop not Soda!

Here in the South, it's Coke. It doesn't matter whether or not Coca-Cola manufactured it: it's still Coke!

haha yea I&#39;d forgotten that I&#39;d heard about that. I&#39;ve never been there, but I think I&#39;d go crazy if I tried to actually order a Coke or if someone asked me if I wanted a "Coke"

Yup, kinda the same up here, in New England... I mean, if you want a ginger ale, you order a ginger ale, or same with stuff like root beer. But cola? You order a Coke. Guess Sprite is kinda the same thing... no one orders 7-Up... or "lemon-lime soda."

Yes, here in Arkansas this is how the question is worded.
"What kind of coke do you like ? We have Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke. I think we have even have Pepsi if you prefer."

Whew&#33; Militant dialects&#33; Kinda like how Midwesterners say "aboot" and "eh", but still are more likely to refer to their coal-firing plants as "hydro" than refer to a man&#39;s partner as "husband". LOL (That part about coal plants deserves its own rant, BTW. Especially since there are uranium veins throughout the Great Plains, in addition to very high winds and a lot of sunlight.)

 

[Altairion]

Whoa now Jon, not all Midwesterns say "aboot" and "eh". Those terms are nearly completely confined in the northern regions around North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin (maybe Michigan too). Down here in Nebraska, those words never come up. As for coal plants out here.....we have 2 nuke plants in Eastern Nebraska, and 2 wind turbines on the edge of Lincoln alone. Don&#39;t go on a tangent until you know whats really going on

If I ever visit the South, maybe I&#39;ll just say screw drinking pop and go as a 100% beer drinker

 

[jonb]

I&#39;m from South Dakota, and it&#39;s mostly unregulated coal, and yes, Canadianisms do come up in South Dakota speech quite a bit. (I don&#39;t consider SD "north", BTW; the days in SD can get over 100. Or over 40, if you prefer.)

My younger son and I dined at Outback a few years ago. His experience with the waitress went something like this:

"And what would you like to drink?"
"Coke."
"Okay, Coca Cola."
"No, orange coke."

 

[db03]

ok i&#39;m thinking we need to give the "sugar thread" a quick death.

 

[surferboy]

I developed tittie pictures&#33; They were some fuckin ugly titties too. Like, pancake areolas. So, late at night, I got an idea, so me, Fallyn, and Lenny taped cardboard areola&#39;s to ourselves and we all had pancake titties&#33; Ramraj cracked up.

 

[prepstudinsc]

I didn&#39;t think that you could have naked pictures developed at just any photo lab. I thought that you had to do them yourself or have them sent off to a place that would do them, not just take them to the local drugstore. Nixxy is going to see a lot of wierd stuff working in the photo lab, I think. lol

 

[surferboy]

I totally hope I see some weird stuff. But yah, like, as long as there are no kids or animals involved, I can develop "naughty" pictures. How fuckin rad is that?&#33;

 

[surferboy]

Oh&#33; As for for yesterday, they had me up front all night. I had two drunk customers yesterday. I mean like, piss drunk. So drunk, I could smell them from 15 feet away (no lie&#33. Then this one fuckin evil prick kept leaving the line. So, of course I take the next customers. He comes back (with nothing&#33 and is butting in. I keep telling him he has to wait his turn, when he&#39;s all "I was here the fuck first, you fuckin dick&#33;" He walked away after I told him to wait in line, and it started over again.

Then this one lady tried to pay me in rupees (money from India). And then, after her, this woman bought a few packs of cigs, and fuckin paid in coinage. Mostly pennies. Then late at night, this woman came looking for milk. And like, we didn&#39;t have any on the shelf, so I said I&#39;d go back in the cooler to look for some. I find some, and she gave me the biggest thank you like, ever. Saying I made her night. I was all "oh, ma&#39;am, the thank you that you just gave me totally made MY night&#33;"

Then around 11:20, Fallyn and I were like, waiting for the managers to run the aisles, and she found some kinda body paint laying around. She tried to put some on her, and it wouldn&#39;t come out. So she turns it, then SQUIRT&#33; All over her chest. I was all "wow, you made that tube feel really good." We were cracking up about it. So yah, that was my night.


EDIT: Oh yah, like, Fallyn also dared me to put my finger in a venus fly trap. So, I did (I&#39;ll take any dare as long as I don&#39;t have to hurt anyone) so like, I put my finger in it, and it closed, so I screamed, and she got scared.

 

[yaoifun]

I know how that is...some customers are so weird...it makes ya think how many wierdos are in this world, and your just waiting on a few of them&#33; I have my fair share of fun stories, but I won&#39;t bore ya with the details.

 

[db03]

Please do&#33;

 

[Pecker]

So, the next time I&#39;m in a store and hear a scream I&#39;ll think, "Venus fly trap."
