What is a phrase you see on the Dis boards all the time that you NEVER hear people actually say in real life?

* Rope Drop - When I hear this, I know the person is a Disney-person

Yes! This one for sure. I can attest because I personally have rope-dropped both Costco and the DMV.

People are more Live and let die here than I experience in real life, or maybe they just hide it better in real life, it could go either way - a toss up.

I worked in a prison, it's used there too. how many sleeps until release day. or so many sleeps and a wake up.

Ressie drives me bonkers. Idk why.

We used this as well in Navy boot camp, which is basically the same thing as prison.

Then when I started my "A" school in Virginia Beach, which was 6 months long, someone had etched "180 sleeps and a wake up" into one of the bathroom stalls in our training building.

* Ressie - I’ve never heard anyone in my real, day-to-day life say ”ressie“ for reservation.”

* Pooh-sized

* Rope Drop - When I hear this, I know the person is a Disney-person

And, then, there are some regional words/phrases that I never hear in my day-to-day life - -

* “On Line” instead of “In Line”

* “Gravy” for red, tomato-based pasta sauce

* Pop/Soda for Soft Drinks/Cokes

It’s taken me decades to switch from on line to in line, wasn’t an issue before internet. And I live in the land of Sunday gravy.

When people count "sleeps" for how long until their vacation. I have never heard that outside of Disboards

Not a fan of the Muppet Christmas Carol? "One More Sleep 'Til Christmas" is a great song.

Ha, I'm not spending half an hour deciphering some of the posts here by looking it all up

The latest in another thread was ODD, which I commented about this thread asking what the heck that is. Someone already responded but it's not in that list, LOL (most people I do think know what LOL is, except for the "lots of love" folk )

In Ohio we called it Pop, too. or soda pop!
In tennessee where we lived for several years, it was called a "coke" or cold drink. All pop was called a Coke??? I guess it was regional,

I don't understand how you order an actual Coke in the south.

Always been "pop" for me. Every vacation no matter where, everyone knows I'm originally from Pittsburgh (dahn 'er in Pixburgh, da home of da Pixburgh Stillers)

It goes like this:
"...and a coke."
"What kind?"
"root beer."

It is admittedly a little silly.

Or is it:

"...and a coke."
"What kind?"
"Coke."
"again, what kind of coke?"

At least when my brother and I was 6 at the beach and we asked if we could have a sucker, they asked what a sucker was which mom or dad said, a lolipop, they then said, "Oh, that makes sense. Y'all from Pittsburgh, aren't y'all?" Yup, we talk different than yinz dahn here.

No, the second "Coke" should answer the question. You can always say "Coca-Cola" if there is any doubt. Actually, when I was a kid, the generic "coke" was super common, but is less so today, as I think "soda" is more prevalent in this area anyway.

I will admit I say how many sleeps are left when counting down to something.

I know that Dec 1st means 49 sleeps til my birthday lol

"I saw/read it on the DIS", unless I'm talking to all my RL people.

Around here (the land of soda) the only reply to coke other than ‘OK’ is ‘We only have Pepsi, is that ok?’.

I'm originally from Morgantown, WV and it's always been "pop" for me as well!

I really only tell that ot my cat when I am leaving on a trip. "I'll be gone for X sleeps!" Of course, for her, that eats up about 23 hours of each day, so....

"Snagged a reservation"

I have never, ever, in my life, heard someone say this out loud in normal conversation. It is said here ALL the time.

What are some others?

You can snag some slacks and some snacks at Pat N' Patti's Slacks, Snacks & Knick Knack Shack.

 

[Mysterian]

* “On Line” instead of “In Line”

Yes. This makes me twitch every time I read it.

I live in Florida and if I said Coke that would be exactly what I would get unless they only have pepsi of course. Everyone I know in our area says soda. I'm originally from Michigan and we always said pop.
