Where I come from, we call it pop. However, we have always drunk pop, we have not always drank pop. Same with sink, sank, sunk. I guess it depends on whoever taught you junior high grammar. Edit: that should be whomever??

Soda to us was seltzer water and syrup mixed together, with a scoop of ice cream added at the end. If everything was blended together, it was a milkshake.

A rubber band was a gumband, people who stuck their noses in other people's business were nebby, and we tended to redd up if the house was untidy. I'm not sure how to spell redd up. Some people warshed their clothes, but we washed ours. If you enjoyed a beer with someone, you "pumped an arn--Iron City Beer."

I have been as far as Puerto Rico and picked out a person from Pittsburgh. Such a crazy accent, that I don't have because my parents were from elsewhere.

When we lived in New Jersey, our neighbor had to go to the dawktuh when she got sick.

When I went to school in Georgia, we "cracked the window" and "pulled the door to." My friend the elementary school teacher there would threaten to "pull a knot in y'all's tail" if they didn't stop misbehaving.

Fun stuff, Gracie. And I'm pretty sure you knew what cabinets are.
