Question about regional expressions: 1) soda or pop? 2) tree lawn or devil strip 3)any others?

Answer 1

In the West, your "tree lawn" is called a "parkway" if you are referring to the landscaped strip between the street and sidewalk. Carbonated drinks are all "cokes" or "soft drinks," never soda or pop.

Answer 2

1) in Cali is soda (anyway as far as I've heard) 2) I have no idea what either is 3) my family (which originates from the Arkansas/Oklahoma states-though I was not raised there, but some of the phrases have continued) calls a shopping cart a "buggy" (my friends make fun of me for that one) and pronounce the word "wash" as "worsh" ( I always have to remind my parents that there is no "r" is "wash" lol!)
And on a side note, I have heard diapers called "pampers" a lot, though no one in my family does this I know a lot of people regionally do.

Answer 3

Definitely soda here in the Mid-Atlantic. " tree lawn or devil strip"-- must be neither here since I haven't heard either. Oh-- here they're subs-- but I know they're "hoggies" in Jersey.

Answer 4

Wicked= extremely. really,/ New Englander
Cool Beans= Neat,/ Floridan
I call it Soda or some time cola or even coke.

Answer 5

For me, in Ohio, it's pop.

We have a "devil strip" instead of a tree lawn.

Also- we say "you guys" instead of "ya'all" or "you-ins"
