Soda, sometimes fizzy drink. Most Australians call it soft drink or cool drink, with a fizzy drink minority.
Soda. Pop is a sound, we re-educated a lot of FIBS in college.
Lol, don't hear this used much anymore. I appreciate the reference, cheesehead.
I use 'pop' and 'soda' both. Calling any soft drink a 'coke' is indeed ridiculous to me.
It's usually used in regards to Illinois drivers. A lot of Wisconsin drivers are crap (well, should say Midwestern drivers) refusing to move over from the left lane. But you get those from Illinois who are either driving way too fast or they think they're driving fast but aren't and refuse to move out of the left lane. I'd rather they fly then putt along.
No one is worse about driving slow in the fast lane than America's Dairyland, my friend
I am from Ohio and semi-regularly drive back and forth between Ohio and Wisconsin, passing through both Indiana and Illinois along the way. The drivers in Ohio, Indiana, and Wiscosnin are all basically the same. The Wisconsinites are more likely to stop when they aren't supposed to in order to let someone else go but that's about the only difference.
Illinois on the other hand is a totally different world. It never fails when driving across the midwest and see another driver do something nuts, that the driver is from Illinois. Whether you're in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or Wisconsin it doesn't matter; the car who weaves in and out of traffic, switches lanes without signaling, tailgates, slams on the brakes, or can't seem to make up their mind whether they'd like to cruise the left line going 60 or 80 always has an Illinois license plate. You check but you don't need to. You already know the answer.
Sounds like Wisconsin/Illinois drivers are America's equivalent of Western Australian drivers - lane hogging and craziness is all too common here...
