- thebruce87m 2y agoInteresting, there’s even a Reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskUK/comments/qo491p/does_anyone_actually_call_fizzy_drinks_pop_if_so/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskUK/comments/qo491p/does_anyone_a... Note for non-UK people, any references to “north” in the thread are for the north of England only. English people will call the north of England “the north” even in a UK context.
- bowsamic 2y agoIt’s further complicated since the West Midlands will be considered north by southerners but south by northerners
- thebruce87m 2y agoReminds me of game of thrones when they go north of the wall and get called southerners. It’s all the south or deep south to me!
- Turing_Machine 2y agoOr like the way that in the U.S. north a Yankee is someone from New England, in the U.S. south a Yankee is anyone from the U.S. north, and in much of the rest of the world, a Yankee is anyone from the United States.
