1. All 3 lol
2. Soda
3. You all (but makes me think "all of you" instead)

I moved from CA to NC but I will never change how I talk. It's fun listening to true southerners though!

I don't think I talk "southern" but I went it Chicago last year and the waitress said, "Are you from the South? Ky?". Lol.

1. Was not really sure what to put for this one but I think I would say 'Crayfish'!

2. I just say fizzy drinks really. If I am feeling informal I might say pop though!

3. You all, but I have to agree with Esmy and I would probably say 'All of you'

Same as me on all of them! :L

I never say pop though, I think I sound like a little kid when I say it. xD I'll normally say fizzy drink or whatever brand that drink actually is. If its a coke, its coke; if its Sprite, its a Sprite. xD

Oh, I am a southern girl!! . Lived in NC most of my life, so...

#1 - C...Crawfish

#2 - B...soda. (Pop is usually a northern thing)

#3 - B...y'all

[fluffydd]

B,A,A here.

[Nibbler]

Another UK-er, basically the same as hamsterz4life and Munchalot.

1. B - crayfish

2. C/D - generically I call them fizzy drinks or soft drinks, or "lemonade"/"coke" (when ordering one but not bothered about brand) or a specific brand name if whoever I'm talking to looks confused or offers a choice.

3. C - "everyone"/"everybody" I guess, but it depends on the context.

Guys or you guys, but I have said you all and y'all. I have a tendency to imitate though, so that influences me. The other day I described a hamster as "poorly," due to it rubbing off me from reading this forum!

I say a hamster is "lovely" or "poorly" (like you) just on here, lol.
