4. You refer to soft drinks as "pop" instead of the correct term, "coke."

I remember the first time I ever heard my cousins from Michigan say they wanted a "pop". Only, they pronounced it "paap", kind of like they said "caar", which sounded like it rhymed more with "fair". I thought they were from another planet. But, the biggest scandal, was that their "caar" was a Volkswagen Beetle, and my Daddy immediately pronounced them Pinko-Hippies for driving such a car. I thought he was fixin' to kick my Uncle's a55.

I've had to disown my brother, since he moved to Indiana & has not only started talking about "pop" himself but has raised my nieces and nephews to use this linguistic abomination as well. Sad, really.

I really hate that term. Pop. It's just so...stupid.
