Scotland, in the UK.
Do you say Pop or Soda? We tend to call everything juice or fizzy juice.
Hoagies or Subs? Depends where you are, I call them Subs, loads of folk say hoagie.
Lightening bugs or fireflies? Never seen one here so never had the need! But I'd say fireflies.
We have so many words that sound bizarre compared to other places in the world, lol. My favourite odd one is 'piece' which we say instead of sandwich! "D'ye want me tae make ye a piece?" "Aye, geez a peanut butter yin, ta." XD0 -
GA girl everything is a coke, subs, lightening bugs
Yuup, ya`ll got that?
But in the swamp, we also call em "flicker fly`s".0 -
I'm from Central Florida and I grew up using "coke" for just about any soda. The first time I saw a firefly I was up north visiting my grandparents and I spent hours catching them and then later releasing them. I also grew up calling sandwiches "subs" but I heard "grinders" and "hoagies" plenty from people who had moved here from elsewhere. There was a special little sandwich shop in my home town that opened and sold "grinders" and man were those delicious! The owner would also load me up with the veggies she could no longer serve to feed my rabbits. Man did those little buggers get big. Oh, and I laughed as a young kid when I had a new friend from New Jersey use the term "sneakers" in front of me for the first time. I used "tennis shoes" for those. Lots of trash talk ensued. I've lived in enough places now where I tend to use all of these terms interchangeably.0

I'm from CA and have always said:
soda
subs
fireflies
and I say couch not sofa
Ditto above in Missouri - in the city - out in the country the only exception is the occasional Sr. citizen still calling their couch or sofa a davenport.
And it is Missoureeeee - not Missourah
No its pronounced as "Misery", and what the heck is a davenport? lol I do hate when people say Missorah too, very annoying!0 -
just wanna mention by the way, anyone who hadnt heard of hoagies should be ashamed of themselves..does the name Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable mean nothing?!?0
