POLL: What do you say?

Re: POLL: What do you say?

  • I'm curious if this is a regional thing. DH thinks it is.  Here we say 'on line' like I'd day to him "Get on line, I'll be there in a minute" and he thinks it's so strange.

    It didn't really hit me until today and I was reading the website from this famous local food joint and they said "once you're online....".  and when spelled like 'online' as in 'on the computer' it suddenly looked so strange to me!

    LOL DH is going to love this.  He is always pointing out how differently things are said here than where he grew up (MI and WI).  I've only ever lived here, so I have no idea.

    Agree. On line sounds like an internet thing.

  • It does sound like an internet thing - but the internet is new!  I've been saying it like that for a long time - longer than the interwebz has existed! 

    Now I feel like I need to call my Mom and siblings and see how they say it, LOL.

  • I'm the SS.....I use both interchangeably.  However, my parents (also NYers) say on line.  I've lived in NJ, Miami, the DC area, and now back in Florida again.  Neither seem strange to me, I know what the person is talking about.
  • I say "in line", so I don't know what you are talking about with this "regional thing" haha. Then again, I was born and lived the first few years of my life up in Rochester, and they say a LOT of strange things up there (haha Heather if you read this!) Stick out tongue

    Why is nothing similar between here and OC?  It's a looooooong hour away, I guess?

    This  :)

  • I think it's a tri-state area thing. I have friends in Jersey who say "on line."

    Katie, I'm dying to know what crazy things Rochesterians say. :) 

  • POP!!!  That is the one that gets me the most. My mom calls it pop (being that she lived in Rochester for a large chunk of her life), there is even an aisle in Wegman's that says POP. Ahhhh!! It is soda!!

    =)

    Also, why do you guys only have rectangle pizza in Rochester? I have never, ever had a circular pizza there, no matter where it is ordered from. That is so weird to me.

  • We say "in line," but quite often when we are in Disney, it's all people from NY or NJ and we hear "on line" quite a bit... I figured it was a NE thing but I didn't realize it was so localized.  

    I won't call you weird, since I took it pretty hard for calling a "sliding glass door" a doorwall.  :)

    Oh it's totally a doorwall!!! Matt makes fun of me. I think it's an East side of Michigan thing.

    Doorwall still cracks me up. I don't think I have weird sayings but my accent makes up for it.

    Doorwall weirdos! It's gotta be an east side of the state thing :-)

  • I definitely say, "in line" and I'm only 3ish hours from you.

    I actually say soda, but said pop when I was younger. I guess I interchange them sometimes, but I prefer soda, too.

    And rectangle pizza?? Whaaa? If it's a sheet pizza, sure. Otherwise, I've never seen a rectangle pizza. :)
