No more Canada vs. USA silly arguments. Great people on both side of the border, stupid people on both side of the border.

Yay for Canadians having the most golds, and yay for USA winning in medal count!
Agreed :)

Although I always find it funny to hear the differences in words and phrasing between not only the two countries but the individual states and provinces too.

I like the regional differences too.. they can be highly entertaining. Never new what we call rockets get called smarties in the south.

(strange name for a candy either way..)

Yes here we have "smarties" (you guys know them by rockets) and we ALSO have dum dums! LOL

These:


Do you guys have these or are they the same but called something else?

Also, I find it funny you guys refer to a sofa as a Chesterfield! Do you know how long it took my grandmother to stop calling a sofa a Davenport?......well I don't know how long either because she was still calling it that right up till she passed away hahahaha......She aways said Davenport when she meant the sofa, and Frigidaire when she meant the refrigerator :D (both name brands of course)

That floors me lol, I would be sooo confused.

Seems to be the older generation that say chesterfield, around here most say couch. (or sofa)
Just so you know, THAT is regional here too........we (people around here) do not refer to pop as Coke unless we WANT a Coke specifically, hahahaha. Otherwise it is usually called Pop, I prefer Soda, but sometimes say pop to blend in ;)

Here there are regional differences, though to my knowledge no one calls all pop coke. Though some people call all snowmobiles skiddoos (which is a brand name)

OMG Dekka! That map makes total sense!!!! As you can see in Northern Indiana people call it POP..........and if you look at Arizona, they prefer SODA!

I lived in AZ from about age 11ish to age 18.........ROFL I prefer the term SODA (it's what I knew as a teen) but say POP to blend in here where I've lived the majority of my life before and after AZ :rofl1:

You are awesome, you find the most bizarrely interesting stuff! hahahaha

Ahhh Chaz... The land of the ever changing thread. LOL


I think its funny that beating ones chest for their country is sometimes 'patriotic' and others is 'arrogance'. Further that it often matters which country is being touted. Just sayin... :)


Tomorrow is going to be a great day, no matter what. On one hand, Canada will do what it is expected (and frankly SHOULD) to do and win the men's hockey gold. On the other, the US could silence 30+ million people. A US win would, as said by some, (not me, I think such a idea is silly, but many in the Canukian press hold this opinion) make all other Canadian success at these games nill.

That's a bit much, eh? But still..... I have to smile a bit. The US was expected to finish 5th... A bunch of kids, with 3 old guys... And.... Ryan Miller. Already humbled the Canadians... Can they do it again? You bet. I recall hearing the fans at CHP chanting "we want the USA....we want the USA" near the end of the Slovakia game. (Until, of course, Slovakia almost won.) Canada... Team USA is coming. ;)

People, if you have even a passing intrest in the game of ice hockey, tune into NBC at 3pm EST tomorrow. You won't be disappointed. Its gonna be a HECK of a game. Don't be sad if its low scoring, as I expect it to be. It's going to be a war.
