guys"
On to more local lingo- Cincinnatians say "please?" rather than "excuse me?" or
"what did you say?". Lore says that that stems from our German heritage, and the
Germans use the word "bitte" literaly "please".
If you wanted a coke or pepsi to drink would you ask for a _________?
(A) soda pop
(B) cola
(C) pop
(D) soda
If you answered (C) pop, you must live near me! People not from the area think
I'm a loon when I ask for a pop.
Fun topic!

Actually, I call it none of the above. We (I) and most around me, simply call it a "coke".
