Not off topic since I'm referring to the Bushog/Brushog item below. Now, up here in Canada we never call a drink like Coca Cola a "soda", we just call it "pop". And never "soda pop", although I've heard people call it soda or soda pop south of the border. What do you call it where you are?

Usally I hear it called coke or pepsi. Tonic and soad would be the generic terms. I own a Bush Hog brand brush hog. Also own a Bush Hog harrow (tandem disc for you non-New Englanders). The funny thing about going to school in a different part of the country is the things you pickup. I've been known to say after going to OK State " Y'all want some chowder" that and it's really tough to find country fried steak around here.

In Eastern NC it's soda. Our place rotary mower, eveyone else's bush hog. Breakfast is your morning meal. Dinner is when you sit down at the table to eat around noon. Lunch is when you go to Burger King or similar. Supper is the evening meal. Culivators are those things on the super A thru 140 that we use in the "Bacca" patch. Barbecue is a noun (NOT A VERB) and means pig cooked on a grill with vinger based sauce.

Here in Eastern Canada it is pop. All rotary mowers are bush hogs and it is breakfast lunch and supper most times. Special occasions it is still dinner but it is in the afternoon.

What we have in my house is "geographical diversification". I'm a native Hoosier, and the wife is a native hillbilly, er, Kentuckian. We live right on the Mason-Dixon line. All that contributes to a dialect all it's own. We drink "soft drinks" (Caffine free diet Pepsi). We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I mow the pasture with a "bush hog" Now's where it get tricky.....The wife adds a few letters to most words. (i.e.) Hair is hay-er, the mailman delivers the may-el. (You see how it works) (Last night we had gree-its with our dinner). Then there's the SIL/Kentuckian married to the New Yorker..... She checks the earl in her cars motor, and visits her Uncle Oil. As you can see, this is a CRAZY, mixed up family. Sure glad I'm the only normal one.....(And I'm starting to wonder about that!) John

...and if your wife is/was a University of Kentucky sports fan, she probably rooted for the "Wallcats"...I worked in Kentucky for years, and at one time I started compiling a "Kentucky-to-English" dictionary....from the state where:

..."oral" was an engine lubricant;

...a "fur piece" was not an item of clothing, but a measure of distance; and

..."tars" weren't found in the LaBrea pits in California, but were found on the "rims" [NOT "wheels"] on your car.

I'm only a few miles from you, but we have breakfast, dinner, and supper. And a collective second-person reference is "you-all," rather than the "y'all" from further south or the "you'uns" from further north. And Bush Hog is a brand, but a rotary mower around here is generally called a "brush hog," while the act of mowing with one is called "brush-hoggin'." I've seen many a newspaper ad locally selling a "Woods brush hog" behind a tractor.

From here, going "downtown" means Corydon, and going "uptown" means New Albany, Clarksville, Jeffersonville, and/or Louisville.

Up here in Northern NY border country, "coke" or "soft drink" refers to carbonated non-alcohol beverage. "Brush-hog" is the standard term for a large rotary cutter, altho lots do call them bushogs. Some other North Country language: "Ex" is the part of a tractor or truck on which the wheel is mounted: "I broke the ex on my tractor the other day when I hit that hole". The "Chimbley" takes the smoke out of the fireplace or wood stove and up in the air, and is often made of "masonary".

Where I'm from (East Texas), we have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. Breakfast is at 7, lunch at 12, dinner at 5:30 and supper about 9:30-10. That way, we dont have to argue about what we call our eating times. Coke basically applies to everything drinkable besides water, tea, and alcohol

Any carbonated drink is a Coke no matter what flovor it is.

I say Breakfast, lunch, and supper.
Wife says Breakfast, dinner, supper.

Any rotary cutter is a bush hog. In fact I went to the NH dealer who is also the bush hog dealer and asked for parts for my bush hog. He asked what brand it was.

Now that grass area between the road way of a interstate. I think you call it a median. That is called a neutral ground in our area.

My mom still calls a side walk a banquette and a porch a veranda.

With me everything's a Coke or a pop. If I say get me a Coke and you hand me an orange, a Pepsi, a Gatoraid, well that just about covers it. But when I say "Hey let's go out for a couple of pops", I'm meanin Killians, Sam Adams, or Lieninkugels. Hey, now that I think about it, I haven't had a pop in a long time. Hold on a minute. I'm back now. Ahhhh, that tastes pretty good. Hey, didn't you guys buy Coors or somethin like that? And whatever happened to Mark Messier? You guys trade him some years back? I lost track.

Now around here in northeren Vermont, everybody calls it soda. I call my Massey Fergueson rotary cutter a brush hog and sometimes bush hog.
Why I think it's called a bush hog even though it isn't: Bush Hog is the cadillac of rotary cutters and I'm totally unsure of the history here, but maybe Bush Hog was the first or almost the first to become known for their cutters, and since they have such a famous reputation, everybody thinks of those when they think of a rotary cutter.
I have also heard that people refer to pavement as tarmack, which is a word thats practically never heard around here. Or what we call a cree-mee up here I believe is called soft serve down south.

Here goes nothing...there are disputes even within our house on this one. Lunch is at noon, Supper is in the evening, and Dinner is at noon OR evening.

Basically anything carbonated is "Pop" here in Iowa, but my relatives in Florida and Texas call it all "Coke", even if it is an orange Crush,Mountain Dew, or a Diet Pepsi!

We call it BushHogging here, probably because of the brand name "Bush Hog", kind of like every tissue is called "Kleenex" and all gelatin desert is "Jello" no matter who the manufacturer is.

Now, just 200 miles north of me, if you are using what is known as a "field cultivator" in Iowa, Minnesotan's will call it a "finisher" or a "digger". An Iowa row-crop cultivator is known as a "field cultivator" up in Minnesota.

Strange how things change in such a short distance.

I'm sure there are many more things like these, interesting topic.

In recent years we've started calling 'diggers', field cultivators, just to be more correct! And a finisher, I've never heard of, although some years ago we bought 'soil finishers', with those 'furrin' things called Danish tines!. I don't understand the confusion regarding row-crop cultivators/field cultivators, 'cuz to us a row crop cultivator is what we use to wipe out weeds in corn and beans that are planted in rows. But my daughter's ex, the Canadian, referred to our field cultivator as a 'cultivator, while to us, the cultivator was what we used to wipe out the beans in the corn and soybeans planted in rows!

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The drink is a coke (regarless of it's Pepsi, R/C, or any other dark carbonated beverage). Soda (tonic) is best with gin and a lime twist, and pop is what you do to the nose of the guy that cheats at cards :-). English, such a versitile language.

Let's get this straight once and for all! Soda is NOT tonic! Soda means, well, it means, it's SODA! If you order gin and tonic, you'll get gin and tonic. If you order brandy and soda, you'll get brandy and club soda. See how it works?

In my part of the country pop is usually used to refer to canned soft drinks in general but Coca Cola is most always a Coke and a Pepsi is a Pepsi Cola (or a French guy). "Things go better with Coke" but Pepsi is best for Bush Hogin'.

To me, soda and pop are both acceptable. Either will do. NOW, I have dinner at 12 noon and supper around 6 PM. My wife, on the other hand, has lunch at noon and dinner at 6. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to who you think is correct. Thanks oleblu

I've always been told there are 4 meal names to go around, but only three meals...confusing I know..... BREAKFAST is by definition when you eat the first meal of the day or "break-the-fasting" or non eating time since the last meal. LUNCH is by definition a "light midday meal between breakfast and dinner" Then there is SUPPER which is by definition the evening meal. DINNER can actually take the place of BREAKFAST, LUNCH or SUPPER, depending on your eating habits, since by definition it is the "main meal" of the day or a "formal meal". If you eat alot in the morning for breakfast and then not eat the rest of the day then you in effect eat both breakfast and dinner together. The same goes for lunch and supper. Basically which ever meal is your "main meal" is by definition considered to be the "DINNER" meal. Hope this clears things up a little.....
