OPINION Regional dialect...what do you call it where you're from?

[KnowReasonForPeace]

Soda and pop debate? Fantastic!

 

[Kentucky]

You’re welcome

1. (US, regional) Any of several sweetened, carbonated beverages.
   On a hot day, there's nothing I like more than soda pop.
   Could you bring me a soda pop? I'm parched!

• In the Midwest, except for Wisconsin, soda pop is usually abbreviated to pop, such as "Do you have any pop?"
• Further, in the Midwest, soda means an ice cream soda (soda pop with ice cream in it), such as "I think I will have a root beer soda." (i.e. what would otherwise be known as a root beer float in non-Midwestern areas).
• On the East and West Coasts of the United States, 'soda pop' is abbreviated to 'soda', such as "May I have a soda?" Some, however, still use the term 'soda pop'. Furthermore, some use 'soda pop' except colloquially, in which case they would use 'soda'.

It's soda. First time I ever heard somebody say pop was extended family from Pittsburgh.

Thought that was just a northern thing but apparently not.

Pop don't even sound right to the niggas that say it.

"Let me get a large pop."

See, it don't sound right.

I think the point of a term is to be distinctive, so your argument is counter to your point.

Pop makes no sense

• pop: dominates the Northwest, the Great Plains and the Midwest, all the way up to western upstate New York and West Virginia. The word ‘pop’ was introduced by Robert Southey, the British Poet Laureate (1774-1843), to whom we also owe the word ‘autobiography’, among others. In 1812, he wrote: A new manufactory of a nectar, between soda-water and ginger-beer, and called pop, because ‘pop goes the cork’ when it is drawn. Despite its poetic pedigree, some consider ‘pop’ somewhat unsophisticated, because it is onomatopaeic.soda: prevalent in the Northeast, greater Miami, the area in Missouri and Illinois surrounding St Louis and California, Nevada and Arizona - as well as Hawaii.
