Dude. I’m totally midwestern but refuse to say Q-pon or pop. I just can’t do it!
what a travesty.
Rachel –
Was watching your vlog, I’m a Type 1 from Chicago myself and went to school in central Wisconsin also UWSP, is that where you went? I lived in the south for awhile so I kind of have gotten away from saying pop. Did you call the water fountain in Wisconsin – bubbler?
No way did I ever call it a bubbler! (And yes, I went to UWSP.)
I’m going to have to do this one. My biggest difference is Pop, I’ve always said soda. I can’t believe they didn’t ask the sack/bag question, maybe I’ll add it! Oh and sneakers. LOL!
I hope you do, it was a quick-and-easy vlog to do!
How about “purse” vs “pocketbook” vs “handbag”. (I go for purse)
purse for me as well – like that one for an addition!
Oh, that’s fun! I love regional speech differences.
