I think I get the 10% Dixie because I say "Coke" instead of soda or pop, but I do that because if I'm having a carbonated beverage, I want it to be Coke, so that's what I say.

Well, you're just the good ole country gal in linguistics. :D :p



- I so figured you to be 100% Yankee. ;)

Can someone please explain to me what the heck upper midwestern really is?

probably Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Nebraska??

Upper midwestern is the Pop question, I think. Isn't Michigan the only place where we always call it pop rather than soda?

Most Pittsburghers & the people I've met from Ohio say pop, too.

I blame GC for the 15% Dixie. ;)

They got some hot bitches out there in Montana and Wyoming.



- So I hear.

People from Mississippi call soda "Pop"...or "Sody" :o, depending on the area.

I think its a west coast thing as well. I grew up only ever hearing it called pop.

In CA, it's Soda. I have some friends from Colorado who call it pop, although that could be their area of Colorado.

I've always heard people around Kentucky calling it "pop" but I just call the drink whatever it really is. If its a Coke I'll call it Coke. If its a Dr. Pepper I call it Dr. Pepper. Not once have I ever referred to the entire caffeinated (or non-caffeinated, depending on what you like) genre as "Pop" "Soda" or "Coke."

Canadian-English :p...

Glad we could help. :D

"Coke" as a catch-all is definitely a Southern, or Southeastern, thing.

I grew up hearing "Would you like a Coke?" An affirmative answer might get, "What kind -- we have Pepsi, RC and Mountain Dew?"
