My "state" is B.C. and we call 'em running shoes.Hey now...... I still sport mega heels (every now and then)!!!!Suits? Yeah, not so much. I prefer my heels adorned with PJs, but that's me. I'm such a trend setter.......
You said "TENNIES"!!! We were just having this discussion not all that long ago. I'm KatKurious as to where in this (once great) Nation of ours the language changed. I know in the East Coast, one MUST say "sneakers" and would prolly be flogged if they said "tennis shoes". Here in the West Coast, people say everything, but "tennies" might be the most common in MY 'hood.
So (for all), what's YOUR State, and what do YOU call 'em? (Aussie darlings, you are welcome to participate, as long as you don't call them Barbies.)
Would this be helpful, Dings?

It's all Coke!Ah, my SHE-RO
I was thinking there was an earlier iteration of the "way-back" days of ECF. I had something bookmarked on a different computer (but that has gone the way of the dodo.)
Obiviously, from the Hoosier(daddy) State - I'm saying Tennies (a.k.a. Tennis Shoes) I am bumpuzzled because it's Soda or Pop for *me* (I think whilst in college, I was "shamed" into calling the illustrious non-alcoholic carbonated beverage a "soda", but I'm finding myself reverting to my roots and calling it "pop" these days)
Thongs, flip flops, flappers.My "state" is B.C. and we call 'em running shoes.
I still refer to flip-flops as thongs...much to the shock of my nieces and nephews (I think an horrific picture of Auntie JK in a thong burns in their brains.
I wear toe shoes!State of confusion.
Foot gloves.
Nope, gonna have to go with Dinger, it is and has always been pop for me, spent the first 14 years of my life in the Chicago suburbs and the next 30+ in boondocks Indiana. My cousins though moved to Maine in their teens, and quickly learned to say soda because they got laughed at for pop.Pop is a southerner's daddy. Sheesh, can't take you anywhere, Dings.![]()
Dang southerners just can't ever get this right. Calling my Mountain Dew a coke is just plain insulting.It's all Coke!

Back on topic, generally tennis shoes, but tennies is somewhat common in these parts.
OK, maybe that's not on topic for the thread, but it is on topic for your question.![]()
