    west Texas - 1. Every carbonated drink is coke...you then get asked your preference...2. Sub... 3. fireflies? Lightning bugs? I have to go with the girl above who said all they have is mosquitos....because that is all that is around here as well.

    Pallets are made on the floor for babies/toddlers to sleep, and the "ice box" is still used around here as well.
    Y'all is a word - please don't argue - it just is around here.
    Fixin' to - unfortunately, I have been guilty of this one - and it drives me nuts when I catch myself.

    Texas...it's a coke here no matter what flavor it is (the exception would maybe be a Dr. Pepper, but I still call it a coke.)
    And it's subs and lightning bugs.

    Do you say Pop or Soda? COKE
    Hoagies or Subs? SUBWAY
    Lightening bugs or fireflies? neither, we don't have those

    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!

    I'm from LA:

    "Do you want a coke?"..."yeah what kind you got?" ...."diet, regular or orange"..."is the orange diet?"...."no"..."okay then diet coke".

    "I feel like eating Subway"...get in car start driving..."Togo's is closer you want that?"...."no, actually you know what, I gotta go to Von's anyways for milk we'll just get one there."...."Ok."

    "What are those lit up firey things flying around?"..."BULLETS! DUCK!"

    Here's one for you, Bologna is called Jumbo in SW Pennsylvania where my husband is from. My first visit they had to have thought I was a complete idiot. My SIL asked if I wanted a fried jumbo sandwich, I said no just a regular sized one would be great. I'm from California. I say soda, sub and firefly, he says pop, hoagie and lightening bug.

    In Northeast Ohio we say:

    Pop (sorry, anything else is commie.)
    Sub
    and firefly and lightning bug are interchangeable, we have no preference.

    I've never heard of a "jumbo" sandwich before this post. I don't really know of anyone who is a fan of fried bologna.
