I was just looking at the results of this question online. I think it's an interesting question b/c we say pop in Michigan and I heard like no other state says it. I guess it drives the other states nuts......It drives me crazy to hear anything but POP!! :lol:

Clea probably says soda though.......I guess i can learn to live with that ;)

I tried to vote Margot, however, this message comes up telling me in short that there's something wrong with my noggin. I call them soft drinks. I actually don't know why I call it that, because they're nasty and sharpo in yer throat. Not soft and smooth and gentle like the name would give way. Super funny, I worked on this island for 5 months with all american customers and the owners were also American. They always used to say pop in the cutest way. Well the people from Minnesota did anywho. I loved the accents from the south and they loved mine. They'd always make me say "out and about in a boat" although I didn't think ti was as funny as they thought. :blink:

Yea the voting thing didnt work for me either. I call it soda...Im a new yorker..yea. i loveeeeeeeeee soda i basically live on it. even tho i havent gotten it in school lately cuz ive had a sore throat. n i dont like coke or pepsi either. i like either sprite or ginger ale...i try to stay away from caffeine. but yea...if i dont get soda theres always vitamin water...mmm.

I dont like pop.....but it always interests me what other people call it!! this is my little research study i guess :D

One of my friends went to school in new york and he said everyone would get so mad at him b/c he said pop......i never really thought about it before....

Thats weird that people from minnosota were asking you to say things that emphasize your accent (maybe you met the southern people)....b/c my grandma is from canada and people from places like the U.P. in michigan....and wisconsin/minnosota sound canadian to me.....hmmmmmm..... :huh:

I say soda...the poll didn't work for me. It drives me nuts to hear POP. It's just a funny word and it's called SODA!!! ::pretending to get all mad bu I'm not really::

My step mum is from Stoke which is North/ Midland Area of england and she calls it pop, i hate it too, but Soda isn't really a word we use much here, so I say soft drink.

I just call it coke or pepsi ! But we use to have a guy who would deliver big bottles of all fizzy drinks like dandiline and burdock (spelling a bit ify) and he was always known as the "pop man"!

LOL...The pop man. THat's funny...I don;t really know why.

well where i come from pop means fart so I think fizzy drink is the best word for it seen as they are fizzy drinks.

I call them mixers ;)

"Oi! More Rum and less coke, ye bastard!"

Mmmmm...mixers ALWAYS have alcohol in them. Definately a Gin and Tonic girl I am. Mmmmmmmm...I could go for one right now. :yes:

I love Archers and Lemonade, but I'm not so keen on Mixers in all my drinks, I like Drambuwi on its own, mostly archers on its own, and well they are the only spirits I drink, more of a beer or baileys girl.

Gin and tonic kinda of girl eh Linz? I'll second that emotion. The only slight problem with my love of gin is that I get particularily roudy after a few...maybe 10 or so. You know one leads to ten of course. Advantadges of gin are also apparent however. I build alot of liquid courage with gin, I once threw cake in my friends face because he was being pervy. Ahhhh...gin :rolleyes:

All the old hags in Eastenders drink Gin and Tonic... Not saying you're old hags :no: just that thats what they all drink, like Pat :yes:

:lol: Yeh! My auntie always orders a G&T....

Gin is cool though, and I like GinTeals and their variations, but Gin is a depressant so I have to figure out my mood before I start on it.

:$ When i was about 9 my family and I walked down the canal to this little pub with a garden and all that...anyways I used to hear them all saying I'll have and Gin and Tonic on easties so i thought the tonic was alcoholic, and the thought of gin scared me so I asked for a tonic and orange :w00t: everyone was laughing at me and I didn't understand why. :no: :$

*pulls knife out of heart* Idle.....old hag from eastenders....*sniff* I mean I have a few grey hairs at 22....maybe I am an old hag *whaaaaaa*
It's alright though I guess...all my friends make fun of me for drinking skagggie drinks. I also love a Tom Collins...those drink are for such old farts that I often have to tell the bartender how to make them. Yknow...I've always felt like George Burns stuck in the body of a young woman...I've always felt like I'm too old for my friends. Not to sound conceited but, I was the first to move out, to get a job...yknow all that stuff. Yet I am chronologically the youngest...strange.
Good heavens, I must start to act younger and pretend to be cool by drinking bacardi coolers ;) .

Yes, and swear a lot. All the kids are doing that, these days.
PS. If you hear someone ordering a "cardi" it's not a woollen coat, it's short for barcadi - don't get out your knitting needles. haven't we learnt that lesson the hard way! :$

I like my gin and tonics. They are an old lady drink, but they are also a gay boy drink. So im' ok with that. I am definately a gay boy trapped in a Lesbians body. It's all good. I am also a martini drinker. All kinds. Mmmmmm the pure alcohol is amazing. Definately something to try. :yes:

Thats what i say about me!! :lol: Total Madonna quote too....and you cant get anymore gay boy than that....I love the queer boys!! (im off topic :yes: )

Ok i like guinness and long islands for my mixed drinks....they get the most bang for the buck i think ;)

I have decided to become a bud girl, just Bud all the time, I love bailey's but it's so expensive and never lasts me longer than a minute, so Bud it is, at least I can take the bottle with my onto the dance floor and it won't annoy me to much.

I feel that dancing convienience defiately decides waht I'm drinking. FOr example, If I'm at the midway for dyke night (RIP) I drink gin and tonics (m9ostly because they are hella strong and only 4 bucks!) If I am anywhere else I usually drink red stripe. Jamacian beer that has no neck. PHENOMINAL!

I just brought a big bottle of cider for my evenings, I don't know why because i recently had a bad experience with mixing cider and drambuwi *gags* I was sick in a wife beater glass.

I never call one drink the same thing. Like right now I may May call a coke a coke and then in five minutes call it a soda then in five more minutes call it a pop. :lol:
