December 24, 201312 yr Author Soda vs. Pop vs. Coke: Mapping How Americans Talk - Katherine Wells - The Atlantic I've said it before on here but growing up everything was a "coke." "Mom, will you get me a coke?" "Sure. What kind?" "Pepsi."

December 24, 201312 yr I've said it before on here but growing up everything was a "coke." "Mom, will you get me a coke?" "Sure. What kind?" "Pepsi." Yup... same here. If not that, it was "soft drink" in NKY, while in Cincy it was "pop", and I'd get crazy looks for saying "soft drink" and of course the ones from Cincy were always right.
December 24, 201312 yr Author http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=2& You will get a visual of the map after each question. Be patient at the end (takes a while) and you will get 3 cities that you sound like you're from. Lexington/St Louis/Jackson,MS for me. Took it again. Not sure which answers were different but I got Lex/Springfield(MO)/Little Rock. The most distinctive answer for Lexington was that I didn't call a drive thru liquor store by any name. Springfield: crawdad Little Rock: law-yer as in "flaw"

December 30, 201312 yr What do you call the drive through liquor stores and do we have them in NKY? Is that the same as the liquor store next to UDF on 42/Pleasant Valley? Apparently my response to that question is what is landing me in AZ.:lol2:

December 30, 201312 yr We have always called the "pony kegs" around here. Good to know. I'll try the quiz again.
December 30, 201312 yr Good to know. I'll try the quiz again. Ummm....I thought a pony keg was a half-sized keg. A drive thru liquor store (to me) is just a liquor store. LOL
December 31, 201312 yr What do you call the thing you drink water from? What do you call the rubber soled shoes?
