sweet, badass, sick, slammin, awesome, holla, aight, milkshake (instead of malt liek they use up north). I'll post more the more I think and lsiten to people today.

I know they use the word WICKED up north, I hate it but I know it will help you.

 

can' for get DUDE!

 

I know down south they say "soda" and up here, we just say "pop"

also, up here its "creek" and down there its "crik" .. if I think of more, ill post :)

 

Just respond for the region if you are FROM the region, please, to cut down on misinformation.

Around here, everyone calls soft drinks "Coke", whether they are in fact a coke or not.

I don't know if ya'll say "Iced Tea", but I always call it Sweet Tea; ice is implied.

If I am traveling a relatively short distance and someone asks where I'm going, I'll generally tell them I'm "going down the road a piece" or "near abouts here", or something like that.

 

we say fixin to for getting ready to do something..."im fixin to go to the store"

 

i say soda, and i said it when i lived in Wisconsin too... so i dont think that changes with region.

My friends from wisconsin make fun of me when i say "Yall".

 

the biggest one down here is yall....then is fricken...then its dude...ummm.....yer good fool, thats sweet or tight....there is more but i cant think right now...

 

Thanks guys u guys have been a big help. So keep them coming

 

In texas, it's a Coke. You drink Dr. Pepper, or Mt. Dew, it's still called a Coke.

Ya'll, reckon, yonder, Come On, That dog won't/will hunt, yeller. heard all throughout rural texas and oklahoma.

"Ice Tea" and Sweet Tea are not always one and the same.

 

in pa... im from eastern pa, philly basically... we call it soda... unless your being more specific and say which kind of soda you are talking about... coke, pepsi, dr pepper, mt dew.. whatever.. western pa i often hear it referred to as pop.

and not too sure about "malt" either.. they're known around here as milk shakes.. be more specific as to where you're talkin about. is that new england maybe?? they're north.. but thought they were called milk shakes there as well..

as for anythin else slang.. i dunno.. its hard to think of anyhting right now..
