A
few months back, I posted about a map that showed regional names for soft drinks: pop, soda, etc. Well, I recently came
across a similar map
designed to show how people in different parts of the U.S. refer to their long sandwiches. The map is part of a larger
project called the Dialect Survey,
created by a linguistics professor at Harvard. Other regional food pronunciations include caramel (do you use three
syllables or two?), mayonnaise (man-aze or may-uh-naze?), pecan (pee-cans are for truckers), and lots more. I also
found the alternate names for milkshakes pretty interesting
(cabinet? velvet?). [Via Fark]
