Awhile back I made the decision to not drink anything stronger than 'pop'. 'Course 'pop' will drink damn near anything.
dungarees..Perhaps unsurprisingly, East TN & surrounding area was/is the same way.....
Trousers were the pants that Brits wore;
Slacks were the fancy-ish not-quite-dress pants that women wore to family reunions, weddings, other similar things;
Jeans were almost always Blue Jeans, even if a different color - just calling them "jeans" implied "the good pair" that men would wear to the same sort of things where women would wear slacks......
Growing up (mostly in California and Colorado but parents from southern Illinois) we generically referred to all soft drinks as coke. I remember asking my first wife (from Cincinnati) if she wanted a coke? she said yes, so I asked her what kind of coke she’d like, Sprite or Pepsi. She thought I was on drugs (I actually may have been at the time but that’s beside the point). She said, “just give me a pop”. I’m thinking, in the shoulder??? She ended up with a glass of Pepsi.
Yep, pretty much the same here. I had three types of pants growing up. Jeans, shorts and dress pants (never really used the term slacks much for mens wear, ladies yes). Jeans were typically denim and usually blue but could be any color and material including corduroy. Shorts were any material (denim, cotton, spandex…) as long as they didn’t go below the knee. Dress pants were typically part of a two or three piece suit. Just remembered, there were also trunks but those were only used to swim in.Perhaps unsurprisingly, East TN & surrounding area was/is the same way.....

A town (more a location than a town really) near where Dads family were was called Dungaree.
Just my personal opinions, but from a usage standpoint I like speed knobs better than top hats, much quicker to roll on or off. From a looks standpoint I like top hats better and with a white and chrome bass I like black top hats with silver caps the most followed by black speed knobs. To my eyes silver speed knobs on a white bass looks washed out and bland.
Mostly just called "Coke" here and further south. Sometimes soda or pop depending on the area.

Serious question. Wonder what percent of cyclists (male obviously), have prostrate problems and if it's higher than average. That prostrate wasn't made to sit on like that the way seats are made. Maybe it helps, who knows!
Underwear around here. Butt huggers and boxers for the guys.
I don’t think it’s a long A. Bag rhymes with drag, hag, tag.
We called it Pop growing up in the 60s in Rochester NY , seems we've been gentrified my kid calls it soda, much to my annoyance.
