P.S. They're still cokes, ALL of them!!!! Nope. A grape soda is not a coke. A root beer is not a coke. A Coke is a coke. Expand your horizons a bit, admit that someone else might call something by a different name. Live a little!

A Coke is a Coke. All other carbonated soft drinks are whatever the name on the bottle or can reads.
Call them pop, call them soda, call them by their actual name. Just don't call them Coke unless they are. Mom had grandchildren living in Hawaii when here the little one asked her for a Coke. When she gave it to her she said not that kind of Coke, so mom ask what kind, she said root beer. We assumed she was just not a very smart 5 year old calling root beer Coke.

Oregon
People we used to call “tree huggers” are now described with the adjective “granola” in Oregon. “Stop being so granola and eat your hamburger.”
I've actually heard this, but more in the media than by real people. We are trying to promote a new name for a beer style: "CDA" Cascadian dark ale. Pffft we (Californians) were called the land of fruits and nuts or Granolaheads before a bunch of us moved to OR.
Californication = turning an area into an expensive megasprawl like the greater Los Angeles area.
The Left Coast = The West Coast with a swipe at our left leaning politics. Also a swipe from the East Coast aka "the Right" (vs wrong) Coast.
Bi-Coastal Creature = Someone who lives on one coast and commutes to another or someone who has spent equal amounts of time on both coasts.
But we are the coast on the right if you are facing north. Or the right coast, whatever you prefer.
(I think both coasts have their pluses FWIW.)

This is so not true! It is "redd up," not "red up"! My dad and DH break that out sometimes, it is soooo funny. And who keeps posting the fried dough picture (we call it fried dough) - it makes me so hungry for fair season! I thought everyone said U-ey (u-eeee) for u-turns.

Some more questions to all: - Is it a "crank call" or a "prank call"?
- Read the sentence "Russia has nuclear weapons." out loud, first as though you're talking naturally at a normal speed, and then as though you're mentioning it very quickly and brusquely to somebody in an argument. In each case, does it come out "new-clee-ar" or "new-cue-lar" (or something else)?
- Besides "commotion", what's the first word that comes to mind to describe a great commotion?
1. Crank call. 2. new-clee-ar 2. KA-BOOM! As in "Where's the KA-BOOM? There was supposed to be an earth shattering KA-BOOM!"

First- It's an elephant ear. Second- You flip a U-ie
You crack a window.
But I disagree with the Oregon reference. Granola has not replaced the words tree hugger. Tree Huggers still refer to environmentalists. Granola's refer to those individual who prefer the au natural lifestyle. IE forgo some basic personal hygiene by choice.
You may be a Granola, tree hugger. Or you may just be a tree hugger.

Here in Western Canada we call it "pulling a U-eee".
The fried pastry is called a Beaver Tail. Elephant Ears are a cinnamon bun (or similar pastry) that's rolled inward from each end.
Bear Claws are these:

Those are Palmiers (but called elephant ears cookies in some regions). The big flat ones are elephant ears (but called beaver tails in some regions). Take the same dough and push it through a star shape and you have a churro. Or drizzle it into hot oil for a funnel cake. Regardless- they are about a gazillion, heart attack waiting to happen, calories. And they are yummy!

Regardless- they are about a gazillion, heart attack waiting to happen, calories. And they are yummy! But the doughs are different! Palmiers are made with puff paste, while those look like a yeast dough. Fried dough is another yeast dough (think bread or pizza dough), but funnel cakes are a batter like pancakes. Not sure about churros, but if it is forced thru a tip it probably isn't a raised dough, it wouldn't hold a shape.
