It's 100% called pop in Western Pennsylvania.

So-da sounds pretty friggen stupid ... however, leave it to the SEC to call it all Coke.

Doug, shouldn't the real question be "Is my girlfriend gonna give me more or less head if I drink diet drinks?"

Beyond that, does anything else really matter?

No surprise that Virginians can't figure out what to call it....

One that may be peculiar to PA is "sliding board." When my Western-PA sister-in-law called to tell me my nephew broke his leg on the sliding board, I knew what she was talking about. When I told the story to non-PA parents of toddlers, every one of them said, "What's a sliding board?"

(It's a slide. I don't know why PA'ers sometimes add -ing board, but we do)

we called it a sliding board.

several sayings down here have made me wonder at times...

hosepipe. it's just a hose

call out the dogs-i had to ask, apparently that means throw a party.

and of course the worst of all-'fixing to'. bizarre use of words imo.

Back about mid 90's we made one of our frequest trips to KY...Stopped at a Waffle House in Blacksburg for breakfast..I am not a redneck but love their breakfast..as we were leaving the waitress ask 'do yunz want coffee to go'.
I said whoa, you are from western PA...yes she said...turns out she went to school with a nephew of mine and her father worked at the Sharon Steel plant...on a trip the next year we stopped by and she was still there...nice young lady...

Danzig · #18 04-27-2012, 01:57 PM

oh, ky....when people mention ky i think back to the first time we ever travelled thru there, many years ago.

stopped at the motel that night, and i went to get the key. the lady was wearing a cocktail dress-interesting choice of wardrobe i think to myself. then i asked her which direction our room. she raised her arm to point, and there it was. the biggest mass of underarm hair i've ever seen. that was over 20 years ago, and i still haven't shed that memory.

ugh.
