[QUOTE="rkwoodard, post: 4405088, member: 33228"] [b]This[/b] As a resident of the South (nashville Tn), but with relatives in the mid-west, I can back this up. Down here the vast vast majority call all soda's Cokes. It is obviously big enough that for a while Pepsi had Steve Harvey (I belive) doing "If you want a Pepsi, ask for a Pepsi" Ad spots. And yes, if I were playing WHFRPG I would tell my co-workers and family I was playing D&D. Most of these subjective terms are what I would consider Hypothetical Construsts. The words don't mean anything, untill someone (hopefully the user) puts a meaning to it (that is hopefully understood by the listener). Video-gamey to me has no meaning because I don't play video games. But to the person who uses it, it has a meaning (vague or well-defined but a meaning). RK [/QUOTE]
