When I was in AR, they would ask, "hey! u want u a coke?" "Yes please", "whatta u have?", "Gatorade", "sounds good!" Where is it they all call it "POP"?
Some places its "going to the movies", others "going to a show"

That takes the cake!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can't stop talking are you an engine mouth or a motor mouth?
After a nice ride on my Harley engine cycle, I looked up something on the computer using a search motor. I was late getting home because I got stuck behind an enginecade. I had to contact a motoreer to get some motoreering done on my new house design. I called him on his cell while he was out engineing around. I called him later than I thought because my electric clock engine quit. But we had a good time talking about ship diesel motors. He also knows a lot about jet motors.

Ahh the good ol engine vs motor debate...well heres my take
Ive never heard anyone (even a redneck) call an electric motor an electric engine.
But on the other hand they call Detroit the Motor City

Perhaps this will sovle the question at hand.
There are no engines that hold US patents described as motors.

Not Cummings? What about the Perkings Diesel - and the Waukingsha - and the John Deering - and International Harvesting - Detroit Dieseling - and the Macking - what's wrong with "ing"? Even gassers (patooie!) that run after the key is off are Dieseling. Caterpillings are out there, not to mention Massey Fergussing.............

Back in the ole Corps, the DI would have us hold our crotch with one hand and our M-1 with the other and recite, "this is my rifle and this is my gun. One's for fighting and the other is for fun!"
