    I usually don't specify between 'soda'/'pop'; I just say 'drink' or use the brand name (most people here say 'pop')

    Most people do that too. I'll ask what kind of "soda" a place has, though. Although, I haven't had soda in a long time

    If I'm "about to do something"; I say "I'm fixing to do something"

    I say "y'all" instead of "you guys"

    I am from WV.

    We say Ni-vah-duh
    Ca-rib-e-un

    Most people around here say pop. I say soda but I lived in northern VA and parts of PA for most of 15 years and picked up calling it soda.

    Cinnamon bun and roll. Buns are puffy, rolls are flatter and firm.

    Round-a-bout or rotary. In reference to what?

    Sprinkles or jimmies. What the heck is a jimmie?
