Keep a word, Drop a word

soda pop - I think that is local but I don't remember which locality. I also don't remember which region uses "paper bag" and which "paper sack" but if you use the wrong term in, you just get a blank stare and a "Huh?"

Soda Pop -> Loud Pop
(when I moved to Chicago in 91 and was first asked at the store if I wanted a 'sack' I had no idea what they were asking)

(probably the north, then)

natitude, the game works by keeping ONE of the words and adding a new one to make something known. Jerked Chicken does not contain one of the words in play.

I think the problem was that natitude didn't refresh his browser and so was still on a previous couplet. (and now I'm hungry for spicy poultry).

Are you saying that what's commonly called Jamaican Jerk Chicken is formally "Jerked Chicken"? Here's a video about making Jamaican Jerk Chicken. (The secret ingredient, of course, being jerk sauce.)

No, the words in play were "Gained Faith" when you then posted "Jerked Chicken". No connection. That was what I was saying.
