WalMarks & KMarks is my favorite. I've definitely used "the devil is beating his wife" all my life. I also use SunDrop generically, mostly because it is the only soft drink worth drinking. If I ask for a SunDrop and they don't have it then it isn't worth asking for another type of soft drink..at that point I say sweet tea.
"Caw-fee" for coffee in the south too

...opposed to what?
roof and hoof were overlooked in that map. I say "roof" but my dad's side said "ruff"
"Coh -fee" is what I say
yeah, that wasn't new to me... i did laugh that it made this survey, though, because it's so far off the mark from "sunshower" and people who've never heard it were probably thinking "w.t.f."
"nabs" for a pack of Lance Toastchee crackers. Also called "4 corners" but never hear that anymore.
I don't think this is using SunDrop generically, that's specifying the actual drink. Using it generically is like "I want a coke" "oh, what kind of coke?" "a Dr Pepper." You are just ordering a SunDrop and switching to tea if they don't have it.
Yeah there is a definitely difference between Cah-fee and Caw-fee.
That sounds like a Boston accent to me (Park the car in Harvard Yard).
These words do not rhyme to me. Roof rhymes with spoof and hoof rhymes with ruff.
What about 'egg' and 'leg'? Apparently I say them incorrectly, pronouncing them 'aig' and 'laig'. Do most people say 'ehg' and 'lehg'?
