The use of language in today's world.
I drink pop. I have always drank pop. The kind I prefer is Diet Coke and I have about one and a half a day. I was born in Ohio.
My friend likes to drink Cabinets. She is from Rhode Island.
I am not a Boomer, just got called a Boomer in another thread. I missed the cut off for Boomer. I am either better than a Boomer or older than a Boomer whatever you prefer.
We are a blended bunch here in The Villages. We say things and pronounce things quite differently from each other and I believe that some areas of this wonderful country have a little more "attitude" than my mother would have tolerated.
We were all raised with some things that sound normal to us and funny to others. Some people call that delicious dark brown liquid that many of us start the day with "Cu-aw-fee and I call it Cough-ee.
What do you say or call things that are a little different from other you have met here in The Villages. Just for fun.
Is it brisket or "cheap roast"? at your house??? Is it umbrella or bumbershoot. Do you eat hot dogs or franks?
