Phrases or words that I never heard before until moving to Utah. Some background

Pop not just a Utah thing. Fry Sauce is a western thing.

Baron

For the most part, isn't Utah a "Soda" state?

BYUtka

I guess it depends on which map is more accurate.

Baron

4/15/21 4:28pm

Anecdotally, I pretty much only hear Soda around here.

BYUtka

4/15/21 4:31pm

Wow, Pop is used more than I thought.

JamDownSouth

4/15/21 4:31pm

I would say the first map is more accurate

I haven’t heard someone actually call it a “pop” in a long time.

mobomanjoe

4/15/21 4:33pm

Yeah I think it’s more of a mid-west thing.

cheezedawg

I spent 9 years in the Midwest, and everyone called it pop

HiLife

4/15/21 5:05pm

My folks had some midwestern roots and called it pop, but I’ve been living in CA long enough now that pop sounds weird

DTR? Old guy here.

Yup

"Define the relationship". Not a Utah thing.

I agree, probably more common in Utah. Just not unique.

JuicyJam

4/15/21 4:35pm

I think it’s “sloughing of skin” and I don’t think that’s a Utah thing.

mobomanjoe

4/15/21 4:25pm

You could be right. That's how my wife explained it to me and she's from UT

I've never understood calling all soda a coke. It makes no sense

shakavaka

4/15/21 4:30pm

Calling a product by a brand name isn't unique to Coke.

JuicyJam

4/15/21 4:34pm

I knew I was going to get this response...

shakavaka

4/15/21 4:39pm

They'll ask "what kind of coke" you want

JuicyJam

4/15/21 4:45pm

So if you want a coke tho, do you say "cola" or "classic" to that?

Gunga Galunga

4/15/21 5:20pm

You just respond “coke”.. second time around locks it down

cougfanz

Haha 👍

I grew up in Utah but moved out of state in my 20s.

SpiffCoug

For school, sluff

NCMO takes on a whole new meaning when your board name is Jamdownsouth.

Nakedbootleg

4/15/21 5:33pm

NCMO is not a Utah thing. It appears to be a Provo thing or for those who have strong ties to BYU and or Provo.

Zach Morris

Yes. Ncmo is a BYU thing specifically.
