Texan thing i guess.

Exactly what I do, except I don't drink soft drinks anymore because they are bad for you... *Hint* When refering to all of them in general(When NOT asking for one) I say soft drinks.

Philadelphia has its own accent that basically messes with words with an -a or -au sound.

ViperGTS fucks with me about my accent often.

Michigan's accent is fun.
Pop>Soda
Pail>Bucket
yep.

Michigan's accent also doubles as a Canadian accent. I said "eh" regularly before i even knew that Canadians said "eh".

Da Yooper talk is fun too. Half of the time you don't even know what they're saying

What part of Michigan? I'm in the SE bit of the lower Peninsula, and I have yet to hear people commonly say "pail" instead of bucket... huh.



Yooper talk is awesome, though. Have you seen Escanaba In Da Moonlight?

I like Infernus's accent, whatever it is.

Blasphemy!

In my family, we call it sauce - and my family has only been in the United States since 1960.

In fact, my grandma either calls it "sohssa" or "la salsa".

[Infernus]

Everyone around here says that as well... I guess thats a philadelphia thing then as well...

[Smaug]

Also acceptable is "le semen"
