    I'm in Savannah, GA. It's not pop or soda. It's Coke (it's used as a generic term like Kleenex and Xerox).

    Subs. And fireflies.

    We also say "fixing to" instead of "going to/preparing to," "tote" instead of "carry," and "carry" instead of "give a ride to." For example, "I was fixing to make lunch, but we're out of bread. Can you carry me to the grocery store and then help me tote the groceries into the kitchen?"

    :smile:

    The same here in SC

    I grew up in a little town on the NY/PA border near Corning and Ithaca. I now live in north Florida:

    Do you say Pop or Soda? -- Both (and sometimes soda pop)
    Hoagies or Subs? -- Subs
    Lightening bugs or fireflies? -- Both. But I spell it lightning.
