I say pop more than soda, but catch myself saying both.
I have a good friend from WV, and we joke about it a lot!
I don't remember Buckwild. I live under a cultural rock(notice how I specialize in listening to 40yo bands?).
I've never heard of tick tacking? Fun with Tic Tacs(candy mints)?  |
Yes, that is a western PA saying and was shocked no one else knows what that means. I had hope with you since you are the first person out of W/PA that calls a vacuum a sweeper.
Buckwild was on MTV shortly after Jersey Shore hit. It was the West Virginia version of Jersey Shore. They did all sorts of crazy backwoods stuff and people freaked out because it was giving W/VA a bad reputation.
Tic Tacking is something youngers do at Halloween to annoy their neighborhood.
