A Coke is a Coke and a Pepsi is a Pepsi . Although the places I frequent I just point at my nose... They know it means Coke and I get a giggle out of the bartender. As far as cues go, very few know anymore than Predator or Lucasi and jacoby

Not according to Jerry himself!
Soda (although I often say pop or nector of the gods cause I march to the beat of my own drummer)
Pechauer=Pet-chower
Lucasi= luke-ozzy
Meucci=mew-t-she (mew as in pew, like in a church kinda pew, not the drop ass kind of pew)
We also have bubblers, not water fountains
Illinios with silent "s"
Anyone know what psds is? hint=thats what someone in Long Island or east coast area there may have done to an ear.:smile:
Theresa, Wisconsin =About 45 minutes north of Milwaukee (1/2 between Milwaukee & Green Bay)

Joss=yoss (thats how they would say it in Holland I think anyway, thats how Jos Verstappen pronounced it and he was in fact from Holland)
I guess it's possible that it could take after Jose and be pronounced "Hoss". It would also be awesome to convince somebody who was really proud of their exotic Joss (the type at the pool hall who will tell you it's a $3000 cue made in Minnesota Fats' basement, etc.) that the correct pronunciation is either Yoss or Hoss.
I've lived here all my life and honestly I'm not real sure what they say. My friends and I, we sorta have our own vocabulary, I'm sure most of you are familiar with terms we use, they're pretty common. It's all sort of a cross between hipster and East-West Coast.
I know reasonably few people that play with a Pesh-hour, I drink Diet Soda or beer with fruit, if the bar doesn't serve food we might call a local 'jernt' and order up a large pie. Some people have cues that are made by Lou-Kaw-see or Shone. If you make me really mad I might get right up in your grill and let you know what the score is, and although we've accused guys of playing with their pecker, it has nothing to do with a pool cue. If you've left your 'ax' at home, then you might have to play with a walabushka unless someone will loan you their baby, but don't ask to stroke their pecker, you'll probably get a weird look and maybe a throat punch. If you play a particularly bad shot or hook your self the your cue ball landed right on the beach. New male players that we don't know are always Joker, All girls not on our team or unknown to us are Jennifer, our bar is home, and if the ladies league is playing there that night it's a target rich environment

New Orleans metro area.
Some say New Orlins, some blue bloods say New Orl-yens. NO ONE says New Orleeens.
Coke or soft drink.
Peck-our
Schurn
Grassy median of a divided street is the "neutral ground."
Some of us "do groceries," but some of us "make groceries."
Mayonnaise is "my-nez" (it is a French word, after all). This is dying out.
Some of us say hurriKANE; some say hurriKIN
Remember: don't eat the dead ones.
