what are some east coast words that are different than west coast equiavents?

Question

for example we call it soda here on the west coast, it's pop or something like that on east coast.

These are Southeastern terms which are not common on the west coast and probably nowhere else but in the south.

And this is no disrespect for the area for it's my home.

Answer 3

East coast! there is SOOO plenty to do in long island city - i've got not been there for a minimum of 8 years (huge apple, thay is), yet there is SOOO plenty to do there & long island has the final pizza (the slices are extensive!) & there isn't something like a protracted island city pretzel for under a $a million (i replaced into in Queens like a week in the past, hadn't had a million in YEARS!) and there is not something like the buzz of watching a Mets interest (too undesirable Shea Stadium's long previous!)...there is Rockefeller middle with ice skating & the large Christmas Tree & the Macy's abode windows at Christmastime, the 4th of July fireworks, all the parades & the ball drop on New 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's Eve, then there is Broadway exhibits, museums & SOOO plenty extra! I purely wish it replaced into heat right here all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days long, I HATE snow & chilly climate!

Answer 4

It's funny you say that because I'm from Upstate NY and "pop" sounds just as foreign to me. The only time I've ever heard soda called "pop" was in Niagara Falls, Canada. I was in California last spring and there weren't any speech clashes that I picked up on.

**I call them "sprinkles", too......maybe that's more of a regional thing.
