Whoa! Our posts crossed.

"Dope" isn't confined to the Deep South.

You're crazy. The Deep South is Pop territory, and its Bush territority. End of similarity.

A few years ago I was on a short term mission project with about 80 other college kids. I did my own reserch and found similar results. The only real surprise was the girl from Boston who said "Twonic"

It's nice to see that someone actually has enough time on his hands to create this study.

Now we need to correlate this hugh and series issue with red/blue states.

The green area of NM is "soda pop" territory, but the sample is very insignificant; it ain't Bernadillo County (Albequerque).

This almost matches the "take out" vs "carry out" isogloss. It doesn't match the "greassy" vs greazy" line though. Not is it isoglossic with the "wash" vs "warsh" line.

I used to work with a guy who grew up in Birmingham. He told me they called them "dopes" when he was a kid.

In the Florida panhandle, it was always "coke". I have heard soft drink quite a few times and soda also. My wife is from Oklahoma and she always says "pop".

Anybody else notice that in traditional beer-producing regions (NE, Milwaukee, St. Louis), it's strictly "soda"?
