You never tire of being wrong, do you?

Yes, when I'm wrong.

Let's stipulate your point for a moment. That would make us a pair, yes?

For us it is pop. For many others it is soda.

How about you?



Neither.

It's Coke or Pepsi.

References to soda, pop, or sodapop immediately mark you as a
yankee....


What? We always refered to the drink as pop and I'm no yankee.

Well, you ARE wrong. You've been told from at least two people that are
from the area that it's pronounced "tawnic". Yet, you blather in that
it's not. Now, how much bandwidth is it going to take to get that
through your thick skull?

No, it is pronounced "tonic". No one not native to the area should
ever
try to mimic an eastern MA accent. They only succed in making
embarrassing spectacles of themselves.


My mother was a Bostonian, and most of my close relatives were born on
and
lived on the North Shore. The word is pronounced "tawnick."

How else could one possibly pronounce tonic, other than "tawnick"?

You could always tell somebody wasn't from Eastern Mass when they
would want directions to Pea Body rather than Peabudy.

Sort of like Wooster?

Soda here in California.



Everything was a coke, even if it was a 7up

What kills me is that soda retailers HAVE to clarify Coke vs Pepsi. When I
place my order I always ask for a coke. I know they sell Coke or they sell
Pepsi, just give me the cola drink.

As a kid and teen everything was a coke, but as an adult I've transitioned
to everything is a soda.

I've lived my whole life here. No clarification required. Go away little
boy.

Interesting thread. I always thought it was a "Canada vs US" thing: "pop"
in Canada, "soda" in the US.

My Lady refers to all drinks as a "beverage" which eliminates all
confusion...

We have a Wooster down here in Maryland. It is the name of the county that
is on the Atlantic ocean. We also have a Dooster county.

IIRC from my Fort Devins days, there is a town in Mass. named Worcester,
pronounced 'wooster'.
