I'm going to be the last grown up. I can't go to work in a shirt that doesn't have nice, creased sleeves.

I grew up in "Western" NY, and we always called it "Upstate"; to us, that simply meant "not NYC", or perhaps more accurately, "Real New York".
And it's 'pop', dammit!

I'm going to be curious what happens in Upstate NY if the eastern part of Oregon successfully joins Idaho... I'd think they'd be real interested in joining Vermont...

All rwd. None with a transmission made of glass.
There's a movement to draw a line on the north end of Westchester County and call everything south of it New Amsterdam, NY's original name. We pay dearly for downstate logic (just information, not political).

Growing up in WV: It was called pop.
Move to NC: "Haha you idiot, it's soda you must be an inbred hillbilly"
Move to Texas: Me: "I'll have a soda". "What the hell? It's Coke, no matter what brand or flavor it is, it's a Coke." Me: "Listen here shiny happy person, I'll call it whatever I want at this point."

I'm questioning whether y'all are even actually from New York. 97% of the people I know from within 200 miles of Manhattan just refer to it as 'The City', as if it was the only city on the planet. None of this New York City or NYC stuff.

Odd, because that's what we call Chicago. "I'm going to the city," and everyone in Chicagoland knows where you're going.
