Two blog posts in one night. Consider yourselves lucky.
Andrew and I had this funny discussion last night about words people use. I have a theory that people who grew up west of Pittsburgh, PA have a different dialect than rest of us (except maybe in Boston, where you can't understand anyone at all). I must clarify - I use Pittsburgh as my frame of reference because I noticed these differences in college, where half of my friends were from Steeler country.
What do you say?
Sack or bag?
Soda or pop?
Jimmies or sprinkles? (This is the colorful, tasty item that goes on top of your ice cream sundaes.)
Hoagie or sub sandwich?
It makes us laugh to hear people say "pop." Andrew had never heard of anyone refer to a bag as a "sack" (as in, bringing a sack lunch to work).
So, which is it for you? Oh, and if you're reading this and you're from Boston...the local watering hole is the BAR not the BAH(r).
