Chicaaaaago

So I was wondering, this came up in another blog, about the differences in how I speak being from Chi-town, compared to how the rest of the world speaks.

Do you say gym shoes when speaking of any athletic pair of shoes?

Do you say soda?
Or pop?
Or perhaps sodapop?

Do you ever use gaping?
or gapers delay or a gapers block?

just wondering oh and please say where you are from in your post.

Thanks loves.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:33pm

The South

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:33pm

I say sneakers.

As far as drinks go . . . usually I just say specifically what I am talking about. Diet Pepsi, Sprite Zero, Coke, whatever.

Never said pop. Ever. I've used the word soda before, but rarely.

And I have no idea what gaping is.

canceromega on Mar 03 '07 at 9:34pm

I say tennis shoes.

When referring to "soda", I just say Coke.

Gape?

I'm from Texas.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:34pm

That was wierd. Posted my last line in italics.

Then the first part in two posts.

yion072 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:36pm

tennis shoes

pop

?

ohio

margolove on Mar 03 '07 at 9:36pm

gaping as in "gaping hole"? haha, I doubt it.. so, no.

I say soda and sometimes pop if I slip up.

I call them sneakers or tennis shoes.. usually sneakers I guess.

I'm from Columbus, OH.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:36pm

Used to just say "coke" like canceromega, but that confuses people so now I just say the specific drink.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:37pm

swimsuit or bathing suit?

purse or pocketbook?

water fountain or bubbler?

glovebox or glove compartment?

sunshades or sunglasses?

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:38pm

sub or hoggie?

yion072 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:38pm

bubbler!!! Awesome word.

PsyGuy on Mar 03 '07 at 9:39pm

subway!

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:39pm

turn off the light or close the light?

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:41pm

subs or just sandwiches

swim and bathing

purse

water fountian

compartment

and sunglasses

margolove on Mar 03 '07 at 9:41pm

either

I always thought of purses and pocketbooks as two separate things

water fountain

usually glove compartment

always sunglasses

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:41pm

sneakers

soda

what's a gapers?

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:42pm

turn off the light

and gaping means looking or watching

so a gapers delay is when there is a accident and people drive slow to look at it.

margolove on Mar 03 '07 at 9:42pm

oh. We call that "rubbernecking" 'round these here parts.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:43pm

so no one says gym shoes!?!

We never use tennis shoes and rarely use sneakers.

if we do its sneaks.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:43pm

ahahaha rubbernecking

I have never heard that before.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:44pm

So you guys call all pop coke?

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:44pm

the only time i've ever heard the word "gaping" was to describe a hole.

we call it rubbernecking too

margo - where are you from?

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:45pm

I'm with Margo - Rubbernecking.

Though I NEVER do that.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:46pm

hehe that's such a funny word.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:46pm

To a southerner everything is a coke. Then you have to ask what kind?

Pretty stupid.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:47pm

Pepsi called coke? hehehe

this is so odd, just the fact of how different it is

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:48pm

heavenly: we just call it soda. if it's coca cola, then we call it coke. but otherwise it's just soda :)

I was born in New Jersey and they are ADDICTED to rubbernecking. There could be traffic backed up for days and you wonder what the hell happend. there must have been a gruesome accident, if the traffic is THIS bad. Days later ;) you get to the "scene" and you find out, it's just some person pulled over to the side, fixing their tire, and EVERYONE slowed down to look...

margolove on Mar 03 '07 at 9:48pm

I'm from Columbus, Ohio, sunlover :)

Although my parents are imports from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia so I'm sure I speak a little differently than most people around here.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:49pm

guess its the same as asking what kind of pop you want.

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:50pm

nice. i know some peoples from ohio. i'm in new york, myself :)

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:50pm

I heard that I say alot of words wrong.

Aka bother, cat, you's and goes.

WAIT do you say sliders!?!

as in the amazingness that comes from White Castle!?!

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:52pm

White Catle packed up and left these parts

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:52pm

That would be castle

canceromega on Mar 03 '07 at 9:53pm

Hmm, I didn't know if calling soda "Coke" was a regional thing, but I guess it is. Everyone I know just says Coke.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:53pm

you also say roof, pillow, car and milk worng too ;-)

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:53pm

ever wonder how accents develop over time?

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:53pm

regional ones, I mean...

canceromega on Mar 03 '07 at 9:55pm

It's funny you should mention accents. I was discussing this with my mother today, and I thought I talked pretty normal, but I apparently don't.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:55pm

regional dialects are kinda bizzare.

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:56pm

I don't say pallow

though a lot of people do

I do say malk and not milk sometimes

what is the pronuciation of roof and car supposed to be?

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:56pm

where are you from canceromega?

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:56pm

You don't usually notice until you move to a different part of the country and someone says, "What?"

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:57pm

Rof, not ruf. P -eh-low, not pallow

Heavenly Devil on Mar 03 '07 at 9:57pm

I say bother and father the same.

I know this is wrong.

And I say

hey you'se guys

canceromega on Mar 03 '07 at 9:57pm

I've lived in Texas my entire life. I know I don't have a Southern accent, but my mother (who's from Mexico) says I do have an accent. I just thought that was weird because nobody has ever told me I do before.

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:57pm

oops rooooooof

sectionbb on Mar 03 '07 at 9:58pm

do you say HAH? alot

sunlover1975 on Mar 03 '07 at 9:59pm

yeah, I used to notice especially when I was at work and we had to make a phone call to a southern office. not just the accent, but they just moved at a far more relaxed (and probably healthier pace), meanwhile in NYC, we're going at great speeds
