In Texas we do not say Daisy Dukes.

There has already been precedence.

On American Idol, David Archuleta cost Idol money when while singing Stand By Me, he ad-libbed "To all you beautiful girls." Which is Sean Kingston's song. They had to pay royalties.

That is beyond stupid. I'm pretty sure the Beach Boys did not create that line, it was probably in existence long before they sang it.

Eh, i've never heard anyone say it. Perhaps it's regional, but I wouldn't consider it Texas slang the way people generally say "Coke" instead of "soda" or "pop".

I clearly know nothing of "Texas slang" because everyone here says 'soda.' The only time you hear someone say "coke" is if they are asking for a Coca-Cola/Pepsi.

Linguistically speaking, Texas falls squarely in the "Coke for soda" camp - perhaps El Paso excepted. I forget where I read a recent study, but yes, it is "Texas slang".

As to "Daisy Dukes" - I think it may be more of a generational thing than regional. "Short shorts" and "hiphuggers" were/are used by those of a certain age.

Yes, everyone says Coke, and I've been/lived all over. (Though not El Paso...) Though it's more in the context of, "I'm going to go get a coke" and coming back with sprite or sunkist, etc. than "do you want a coke?" "yes?" "what flavor?"

And the shorts thing is very possible. I am a baby.

Okay...

STOP.

See the flaw in your argument?




BY THE WAY, I live in Texas and I say "pop."

Sure I'm from Michigan, but I still fall under "everybody."

Just saying.

I know Texas is considered a "coke" state in the soda/coke/pop/other debate, but I very rarely hear someone use the word "coke" in that context either.

I'm going to assume it's the people outside of the major cities that say "coke."

Nope - I'm in Houston, and everyone I know says "coke"
Well, not my friend from Philadelphia . . .
