The long, public roads that are main arteries between states and cities --- what do you call them?
What about the vehicles that move on them; the ones with 18 wheels?
What do you call carbonated beverages?
What do you think my one-word prompt was for this collage?
This one?

1. In the midwest growing up, they were highways. In Boston, they were expressways. In Oregon, they're Interstate Highways (non-interstate ones are highways, or routes, or simply the number).
The longest one from Cali to the Canadian border is I-5 (but if you're in LA, I guess it is 'the 5'.
2. The trucks with 18 wheels? Is there another name other than trucks? I don't know, I really don't talk about them. "18 wheelers" maybe? Semis? I have no idea.
3. What do you call carbonated beverages? Soda, but when I was in college it was 'pop'.
1. Like Kim in Oregon, I grew up in the Midwest, and those roads were called highways. Unless they were 4+ lanes with exit and entrance ramps; then they were freeways.
2. 18-wheelers were called semis.
3. I grew up calling them pop. In my 60s I started calling them sodas because it seemed more descriptive. Pop is a Midwestern term; soda is more East Coast, I think.
4.Death? Mortality?
5. Haunting? Monsters?
