I am originally from Detroit but live in Upstate NY now. I have never heard anyone order a coke in Detroit and not mean a coke. Down south I have heard all soda referred to as a coke though. They do say pop instead of soda and tennis shoes instead of sneakers. And EVERYONE I talk to that I went to High School with or hung out with always thinks I live in NYC when I say I am now in NY.

New Englanders call milkshakes "frappes". Maggot may be an exception, he may call them "beer".

The proper term for that would be, "I live upstate NY." That would eliminate any confusion.

I do say that when speaking with them. And most of them don't know where Upstate NY is. They hear NY and automatically assume I mean the city.

Or just do what I now do...Fuck 'em all who don't get it...Jesus Christ...The cocksuckin' state is bigger than the one motherfucking city...Jesus

**ramseycat** · 10-25-2009, 02:23 PM

Exactly. Albany is a beautiful area. While the city may be exciting and full of fun things to do but I wouldn't want to live there.

I know where upstate NY is...

I know lots about NY. Smiley_emoticons_razz

And all of it is regarding the railroads LOL.
Major Yards at Selkirk, Buffalo Frontier, and Syracuse. Secondary major yards in places like Rochester... oh sorry, got off topic there Smiley_emoticons_wink

Ramsey you're such a wimp sometimes. If you're going to defend your opinion you should at least take the time to research it Smiley_emoticons_wink

**Duchess** · 10-25-2009, 02:25 PM

I love being able to say all these godawful words in here. ::bravo::

Oops, got distracted and cross posted the part about Ramsey and her Opinions.. that belonged in the other thread.

Why ?...Fuck all if Ima gonna research every fuckin' opinion I have & I would never expect others to do so either...Of course, it certainly helps that I don't particulary give a flying fuck what anyone in here thinks to begin with.

You also don't have this insane need to defend your opinion until you've beat it to death Smiley_emoticons_wink

Whereas Ramsey always does ::bhorse:: to her opinions.

Good point.

In NY, they call a purse a pocketbook. I hate that word. It's stupid.

I usually refer to my 'bag' or my 'pack' (since I tend to use a backpack instead), however I prefer 'pocketbook' to 'purse'. 'Purse' is something you do with your lips.

Of course, I did grow up in NJ (more or less).

I know they say "Pop" too as I've heard that one but gratefully, Matt has been broken of that habit a long time ago.

I'm not sure where they do it, but I've heard 'coke' and 'pop' quite a few times. It's 'soda' to me.
