We say Coke. Even if it's a Pepsi, we still say coke. Pops are old dudes, and soda is something you bake with.
Interesting that the OP will complain about the pronunciation of a word, yet will take the time to type "smat phone".
Bullshit, NC is ours too. It's all ours except for the parts we don't want until we want them. You dirt eating cousin f@ckers still have SC and GA because we just haven't gotten around to them yet and I don't think we'll ever really want GA. We had is once, burned it down, pissed in the ashes and then left. Now GA is full up. all your base are belong to us!
Florida is ours too. We sent down the old as the first wave then we sent down the drunk teenagers to remind Florida not to get uppity and last we sent down the dregs because Florida.
Atlanta burned itself down. We can’t take credit for that one. And the ladies of Savannah were smart enough to get Sherman and his army drunk so he wouldn’t burn it. The middle of the state we marched into a mud clod though.
This is totally wrong for Cackalacky. „I‘mo carry the young‘uns on up to the Piggly Wiggly right quick, git a buggy, den buy me some Co‘cola, arnge drank, Mountun Dewwww, and some Nabs. We‘ll tote it home, then cook up a mess o‘ vittles fer dem young‘uns.“
I find it highly questionable that someone who uses the word "h'aint" is complaining about the pronunciation of the word "wash."
There was an ama superbike interview with Nicky back when. So we're all doing our Sunday group speedvision Moto race watching. Nicky comes on and it was like listening to a combination of guy Martin and Scott Russell. But he said "rc coke cola" like 3 times. And that was about all we could understand. So it was kind of our running joke for years after. Lol.
My family is from eastern NC. When we moved to TN, I could understand Middle and Western Tennesseans. Appalachian Mumble, which is the language spoken in East Tennessee and Kentucky, took me a while to fully grasp.
