What do call these things?

[gjorg]

I am getting that queasy feeling again, like when i was 16.
And the earth goes round and round

 

[B_Think_Kink]

Shoes... sk8 shoes... running shoes
sausage? I think this is what you were trying to say....
Pop obviously.

 

[agnslz]

1. - Other, I just call 'em plain "shoes"

2. - Subs

3. - Other, I call any kind of soft drink "coke"

 

[B_Think_Kink]

I mean coke but I usually type cock.

 

[Mem]

Where did you mention cola in the question?

I didn't. Someone answered other, "sprite" for the 3rd question. The question was do you call it soda or pop or other. So I was asking if if he wants a cola (soda/pop) does he say "I'll have a coke sprite", (because I've heard that before, even if it does sound bizarre to me.)

It would depend on the shoe, some are sneakers some are Nikes or another brand.

The sandwich is a hero, occasionally a submarine and then there's the drink which is a soda.

 

[B_Nick4444]

depends on what they are: some are correctly called "sneakers", others are correctly called "running shoes", "walking shoes", "cross trainers", etc.

same with the sandwiches -- those which are "hoagies" are called "hoagies", those which are "subs" are called "subs"

believe only fudging Yankees use the word "pop"

(why would anyone resurrect this thread??? how did they find it??? what the fudge, man?!?!? what the fudge?!?!)

I have been almost a life long tennis player so I have always bought and worn tennis shoes. The exception is running shoes. I remember people calling them sneakers and being really tickled by that.
Submarine sandwiches were what they were called in California I only heard the word Hoagie when I moved to NY.
Interestingly many people in LA when I was growing up called it soda pop. I think its a generational/geographical word I never hear anyone say that anymore.

A sub is a Roll or Sandwich here, Sneakers are Trainers or Runners, and Sodas are called Soft Drinks or Minerals or Fizzy Drinks.

Whats this soda stuff??
It's pop... everybody knows its POP. I pick up my pop with my shopping cart.
Wearing my Tennis shoes because theyre comfy through the store and they have nifty little air pockets in them.

Unless...I step on a nail, then they fart and squeak.
And that's just annoying going in at lunchtime for a Sub.

LOL! No everyone doesnt call it Pop, C. On the East coast its called soda.

I was given a lesson in South Louisiana that they're called Poor Boys, not subs or torpedos or hoagies. There's a history there, but I forgot.

 

[ManlyBanisters]

In English: runners, rolls, fizzy drink.

In French: tennis (les), sandwich (le), soda (le)

Whoda thunk France was more American influenced than Ireland :smile:

 

[gymfresh]

Sneakers (for the category) or by type if I'm trying to differentiate among my high tops, my running shoes or my tennies.

Sandwich. No one ever said hoagie (or grinder) where I grew up, and sub has too many meanings.

Soft drink. No one in my family ever said soda, pop, or sodapop. When I lived in the Middle West, everyone said "pop" and it sounded like the common name for the Papanicola test.

For that matter:

rubber band (not "elastic")
Scotch tape (not "sellotape" or sticky tape)
drinking fountain or water fountain (not "bubbler")
milkshake (for either the thin one or the thick ice cream-based "frappe")
jimmies (not "sprinkles" or "hundreds-and-thousands")
(but I call nonpareils "nonpareils")
condom (not "rubber", and said 'CON-dəm, not 'CON-'DOM like in Britain)
rubbers (not "galoshes" or overshoes)
