Perhaps I should be glad I missed this one, since my answer to #10 was going to be “amnesia,” having failed to grok the question. ---

Good feud. Couldn’t understand how I was so low down, until I realised I’d put “sparkles” instead of “sprinkles”. That and my “baguette” was costly, missed the two highest scoring answers. ---

Here is my answer list followed by what I actually call these things. I tried to go with what I think the most people say. Answer list: 1. Soda 2. Sub 3. Sprinkles 4. Sneakers 5. Line 6. Fountain 7. Popsicle 8. Creek 9. You 10. Thingy Actually what I call them: 1. Pop - I’m from Michigan 2. Sub 3. Sprinkles 4. Tennis Shoes - I’ve never called them sneakers in my life. 5. Line 6. Drinking Fountain 7. I wasn’t sure what they referred to. My first thought was Sherbet, actually. 8. Stream 9. You All 10. Thing So, it was really quite different on this one. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I think I’m going to regret saying jimmies, too. I don’t even call them that but I was introduced to the term last year and thought a lot of people used it… I’m pretty sure it’s used only in New England. > [@Skammer](#): > > I grew up calling them _grinders_. But New England is weird. And on the other hand, I’ve never in my life heard of anyone call a sub a “grinder” and I’ve lived my entire live in MA and NH. Oh, I’ve read about how “we” call them that like how we supposedly call soda “tonic,” but actually hear someone say it? Nope. ---

Can’t believe I missed this one. I would’ve done well and a couple of my answers would’ve skewed everyone else’s results (the answers that tied). I can’t believe nobody on here calls a long sandwich a Po-Boy though…that’s the only one I would have not done well on. ---

For 7 I was thinking along the lines of slurpee or slushy or icee. And most people understood 5 just fine. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-feud-what-do-you-call-it-by-biggirl-game-closed/547752.md?page=4)
