Not surprised about the jeep reference. Since the takover of Chrysler corporation by Fiat, a model was added to the Jeep line that is derived from a small front-wheel drive Fiat chassis, and purists scoff at it, "THAT is not a Jeep." I like the design of the Jeep (Wrangler) - based pickup truck with the 4 doors, but they are ridiculously priced, especially given the terrible quality ratings; While biking, I helped a nice woman whose Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (expensive), still under warranty, had died at an intersection, some major fuse or relay blown that I couldn't diagnose without a multimeter. She had just had the whole engine and instrument panel replaced under warranty. But I don't drive much these days, 99% biking.

In the USA "south" (meaning southeast), some refer to all carbonated drinks as a "Coke" (from Coca-Cola). So it is common for someone there to request an "orange coke" or "lemon coke" or "rootbeer coke", etc. And actual Coke is "Co-cola".

Just in the news tonight, a very renowned USA journalist has died, Robert ("Robin") MacNeil, originally from Canada, among his many books he had written one on the history of the English language, and then later one about all the different regional dialects in the USA, titled, "Do you speak American?"
