And it’s pronounced “paap”, like with the long “a” sound so nasal that it’s coming from behind your eye. “Hey gais let’s go to Meijer and get some paap”.

True. Totally threw Midwest me when I lived in Dallas. Waitstaff: “What do you want to drink?” Customer: “Coke.” Waitstaff: “What kind?” Customer: “Dr. Pepper.” Me: ?!?!?!
