Okay ya'll, I told my proffesor that i would put this survey up for class...

I am taking a graphics class and we were talking about the different objects being known as different things around the country... such as pop/soda and water fountain/bubbler (weird I know). these things are important to know in ad desing, which is what we are covering in this class.

So what I want to know is, what is your word for the following objects in your part of the world?

[EDIT]

please add where you are from if you are comfortable with that... just a general idea

1. Carbonated beverage (pop, soda, or something else...)

3. Television

13. Fireplace

14. Fan/Air Conditioner

15. Basement

16. If you can think of any other words that you have heard for something that is different that what you use, please list them here...

Well, one that I use as a result of being around Chandler is, instead of "bull in a china closet", "elephant in a glass factory". The Croatian expression when translated comes out to "elephant in a glass factory", instead of "bull in a china closet".

Thanx all... and please remember, this is for class so keep it fairly clean please
