Suicide, but I'm from the South.

Hey, why do you all talk about "barbequing" every time you turn on a grill? That's grilling. You don't barbeque a hamburger. If you go to a BBQ joint, it's not for a hot dog.

In So Cal we called it a suicide and this is literally the first time i've ever heard it called a graveyard.

Garbage pail, eastern PA, land of the most delicious sandwich of all . . . the grinder.

OK soda. But I'm from an OK Soda test market.

"Rainbow," Northeast.

Also I'd be curious to know the "did something ON accident" versus "did something BY accident" breakdown.

@ Ned: Could the NE try ANY harder to be the gayest?

I am from here and I think I called it a graveyard but I just texted my brother and he said we called it a suicide. That map listicle made me completely unsure of what I have ever called anything. C-A-R-A-M-E-L?!?! I have no idea. The only thing I'm sure about is crawdad.

You say you are from Oregon, but then you refer to pop as "soda"! Shenanigans! Shenanigans, I say!

Grew up in the Seattle area -- this was always called a Graveyard. It was even listed on the menu at the roller rink.

Also, about that OK Soda...

Throughout my entire youth in Sherwood, Oregon, I had no idea that there was a term for what my little brother did all the time at McDonald's. We just called it a mixed drink.

What I called a "Suicide" was taking multiple pumps from each Slush Puppy flavor, THEN adding all the soda flavors and topping it off with a little bit of Slushy ice.

It's a suicide which ironically, as a native Southern Californian, most Oregonians would like me to commit.

WTF is a Slush Puppy, is it like an ICEE?
13
As a high school goth, I called it BOTH because it was an excuse to throw around either word during lunch break. Pacific Northwest.
14
Black Death/NJ, though this terminology mostly applied to Slush Puppies which were available at school.
15
"Potions". And yinz call the sandwich hoagies and the drink pop - and Pittsburgh n'at.

Please wait...
