I can vouch for this! I'm a meany when I'm home here in NY. But when I'm in NC visiting family, I can be so nice. It can't be helped! It's like it's contagious.....then I get home and I'm miserable being around all the meanies.

just a few that come to mind

The eastern side of NY calls it soda....we don't have pop. Most people here would look at you funny.

I love being in a restaurant in NC and everything is a Coke. Even when it's a Sprite....somehow it's still a Coke....or maybe my cousin is a tad odd.....LOL You never order soda....always a Coke.....which is just hillarious since Pepsi was created in NC not Coke.

Then there's Cheerwine..........I could go for one of them right about now.

I realize when people say that they are referring to a chimney, but yet most say chimley. I do not understand why some put an L in place of the N but I have come to the conclusion that every state has it's own way of saying certain things. Being from Ky, I can relate. To each his own

I have never heard that either.

Cheerwine. One of the best things about NC... and no one can take it away.
