In Milwaukee or further west (Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Appleton) nobody seems to know the name unless they have some connection to the area. I'd love to know where the cutoff is. I was particularly interested to see you mention Spanish Hamburger as another name for sloppy joe, a name I've heard only in the fox valley. The soda / pop line seems to run somewhere along Lake Winnebago...I hear soda to the east, but in the fox valley I hear pop a lot more, and further west is largely pop country.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the cool memories!dalemidexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855149854456064358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575484387153820810.post-25428029874418896372008-06-16T20:26:00.000-05:002008-06-16T20:26:00.000-05:00Diane--yes, and I still have to have something a l...Diane--yes, and I still have to have something a little sweet after every meal! :)<BR/><BR/>Murry--of course! How could I forget fry outs and bubblers! *grin* But I always called soda, soda--not pop. :)<BR/><BR/>Mathman--I don't marvel at how my WI relatives talk--I giggle at it! *grin*<BR/><BR/>Sling--I know what you mean. But if you heard the WI accent, you'd think it was a little weird--or at least funny, DUDE! :)Miss Healthypantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388211920649065327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575484387153820810.post-86641175324440539992008-06-15T19:58:00.000-05:002008-06-15T19:58:00.000-05:00Regional accents bring character,and flavor to our...Regional accents bring character,and flavor to our language...Not wierd a'tall!<BR/>I'm from California,and forever cursed to be accent free,..dude. ;)Slinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156315627331213427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575484387153820810.post-34225185209100454132008-06-15T09:41:00.000-05:002008-06-15T09:41:00.000-05:00I always marveled at the way my great-aunt talked....I always marveled at the way my great-aunt talked. She lived in Oshkosh. I think she had another word for sloppy joes, too. I can't quite recall. <BR/><BR/>The bag thing is funny and I now know that many places wrongly call them sacs. Bayg doesn't seem so weird. And a grocery cart - in Ga it's a called a buggy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246047045851719992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575484387153820810.post-86730555905223458602008-06-14T21:47:00.000-05:002008-06-14T21:47:00.000-05:00How about a "fry-out"???
