Do you have.......
 

.......soda or pop in your refrigerator in your house or on your boat
(boating connection)?

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

How about you?

In MA, it is commonly called "tonic". Unique to this area, I think, just
like a "frappe" which is *not* the same as a milkshake.

Pop when I was in the mid-west, tonic when we moved East, it's soda
now.

We keep soft drinks in our fridge.

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 never tire of being wrong, do you?
