One of my favorite southern colloquialisms! Along with the carry versus drive, and how everything carbonated is a coke, not a soda or pop thing, unless it's a specialty beverage (like Cheerwine! or a cherry lemon Sundrop).

My dad's family (from po-dunkville, NC) called a garden hose a hosepipe.

My S's troop went to BSA camp in the Carolinas and had Cheerwine. I thought it was the the local phrase for the camp staple, bug juice!

God, I LOVE Cheerwine. They used to sell it here in VA, but they stopped. When my sister went to college in NC, she'd bring back cases for me. Food Lion now makes Cheerwine ice cream, which is pretty good, too.
