Poll question: Sneakers or Tennis Shoes?
Because what we call the things on our feet matter, when we are looking to bury them in someone's ass.

What do you call those "generic athletic shoes" on your feet?

4. That's what I am trying to figure out
I should have added an "other - discuss" to the poll. My first poll and I mess it up. Thanks for responding. :hi:

8. I don't think so
I always called them "tennis shoes" but here in Massachusetts, they all say "sneakers". Sort of like a milkshake here is a frappe (except in RI, where it is a cabinet!) or a submarine sandwich is a grinder. I wondered what other people called them in other places.


I get teased about it alot, it seems. I'm pulling for "tennis shoes" myself.
