What do you say?
I'm from Pittsburgh, and recently when I met someone, they told me, "You're from Pittsburgh? Oh my god, OK, do you guys really say things like 'The dog needs fed'? That's so weird!"
I replied yes, but I don't find it weird at all. And I can't imagine the rest of the world saying, "The dog needs to be fed" or "The carpet needs to be sweeped" instead of "The dog needs fed" and "The carpet needs sweeped." Which do you say, and where are you from?

Wow, TDM, I see you have over 1,000 posts now !
You guys really talk that way in Pittsburgh? That is really weird ! In Minnesota we say "pop" instead of "soda". That's the only one I can think of off hand. If you've seen the movie "Fargo", you've heard them use a Minnesota accent. Of course they exaggerated it quite a bit, but you do hear that accent on occasion, mainly in the northern part of the state. My friend's wife is from Chicago and she always uses the phrase, "I went by my sister's the other day", whereas I would normally say, "I went to my sister's the other day." I would always tease her saying, "why did you just go by and not stop in?"

Nonsense, Spanish is the second sexiest accent next to French, at least you don't have a German or Russian accent

Haha, I hadn't even noticed before. Thanks, lefty !
We say "pop," too, in western Pennsylvania. What's really interesting is that some people call all soft drinks "Coke," especially in the South. Quote:

But for me this topic is also very interesting and informative. It wouldn't ever come to my mind that you can say: 'went by my sister' |

I like to say strange things. Or slightly alter well-known sayings/memes just for the hell of it.
I do like to refer to my drinks as liquids though, it's a habit. When someone would say "I'd like a drink", "I'm thirsty", "I could use a drink", I have this unnatural habit to always say, "I need liquid", "I could use some liquids." etc.

well, i used to live in New Zealand, and we used to say:
togs instead of swimming suit. bin instead of throw away. ring instead of call. rubber instead of an eraser. mate instead of man.. as in, instead of "hey man!" it'd be "Oi mate!" anndddd so on. but then again, i lived in NZ nearly 10 years ago!
