Ooh yeah. Some of the names people use for soft drinks make me cringe.     They are soft drinks!     I even heard sody pop one time.  gadzooks!  hehe

Also, I guess Marshmallow Cream is called Fluff in the east.

That's about all I know.

Well, there are some Paula Deen-isms I used to hear but they were just wrong.  For example when she refers to 'confectioner's sugar' she calls it 'confectionate sugar'.

We call it icing sugar where I come from because its main use is for making cake icings.

I think my point about PD and the 'confectionate sugar' was missed by a few.

Sure, we always called it 'powdered sugar' and many call it 'icing sugar'.  It's also known as 'confectioner's sugar'.  But PD calls it by some made up word - confectionate.

I'm always fascinated with the names for soft drinks.  To me, soda would be club soda - an unflavored carbonated water product.  Pop is a verb.

I've heard many Southerners refer to Coke as "CokeCola".

In the Mid/west, Mn, ND.,etc.,  a cassarole is called hot dish.

@chickenbutt, when I saw your earlier post about Paula Deen I laughed out loud.  I've never heard her say this, but I can sooooo picture it and hear it in my head.  The word would just drip from her lips in her over the top, exaggerated drawl. (not that her drawl has anything to do with made-up words, but you know what I mean).  Hahaha

I grew up in Southern California and moved to the Seattle area about 25 years ago.  The only differences I noted was that in California salmon was just called salmon.  Up here I learned there are many varieties of salmon - some much better than others.  I have became a salmon snob! 

[chickenbutt]

Citrine - Oh doncha know it!    One of the other ones PD does is when she refers to a spatula.  Now, I get that in some places, like the NE, there is an 'r' added to the end of some words.  I have no issue.  So it might be spatuler in some regions.  

But PD calls it spatchlerr.  (two syllables)   I always thought that was very unusual and have never heard it elsewhere like that.

DiAnne - Interesting about the salmon!   I have to say that my favorite salmon has always been called 'Alaskan King Salmon'.  Just like that - everywhere I went.  Well, now I'm hearing 'Chinook king salmon' and another one I cannot remember.  But I wonder if it is the same Alaskan King Salmon that I've always purchased.

I'm southern,and small town. I grew up calling Coke "Co-cola" but all other carbonated soft drinks were called ""Coke"...example:  "What kind of Coke do you want with your lunch?"...."Sprite,please !"...LOL.  We also say loaf bread(sliced sandwich bread), sweet milk(white), and even though it isn't good,we drank out of our hosepipe (waterhose),and shop for groceries at "the store" and put the groceries in the "buggy" (cart), and paper moobags were called "pokes".
