    Do you say Pop or Soda?
    Hoagies or Subs?
    Lightening bugs or fireflies?

    I'm from Ohio but now in PA and I say Pop, subs, and lightening bugs.

    Tell me what you say and where you are from and add in new words too!

    Not saying exactly where I live but I'm on the east coast.

    Soda
    Subs
    Fireflies

    So I say soda pop or the specific name Mountain Dew ect. I hate when at a resturant you ask for a Pepsi and the waitress says oh is Coke ok? No, no it isn't because Coke is not Pepsi..lol.
    Sub
    Lightening bug although I don't think I've ever seen either here in New Mexico.

    Soda. Sub. Lightning bug.

    Grew up in Maryland (currently in SC), with a mama from the south and a daddy from the mid-west.

    My vocabulary is all over the place. :)

    Pop (y'all better not be drinkin' pop cuz it ain't good for ya!) (we speak the opposite of Minnesotan aka "Minnesoda"}. You should have proposed "soda pop" as a third way but I wholeheartedly reject pop, soda, and soda pop because they are all bad for ya!:wink:

    Subs (there better be some healthy fat avocado on that there sub!) (hoagies is how they speak in Philly) actually philly is another option. I'll stick with subs:laugh:

    and Fireflies because 1) it's shorter; and 2) I love the show Firefly :love: that was stupidly cancelled. BRING IT BACK network bozos!
    (unless I'm in a nostalgic Mark Twain mood then I may quietly utter or mutter...lightnin' bugs! oops! I can't believe I said that.)

    And the Nebraska plural of y'all is "all y'all" (plural possessive or some crazy nonsense!). Y'all understand?

    From Nebraska, the Good Life :bigsmile: :glasses: :blushing:
