I'm working in Richmond VA this week, setting up a booth at the logging/forestry trade show (an interesting show to attend) and needed to buy an electrical cord. Went to the local Home Depot and asked where the drop cords were and just got blank looks. So I asked for extension cords and they said aisle 13.

We have had similar experiences as we travel to different shows in various parts of the country, and even in our office with trans-planted co-workers.

I grew up in NC and called them drop cords. If you google drop cord you get sites for extension cords, I'm sure that's the correct name.

I'm just wondering if drop cord is a term we tar heels use or if some of ya'll do too?
