OChem vs. Orgo vs. Organic

[Schaden Freud]

I always thought it was Ochem in California and orgo on the East Coast. Does this ring true for you all? Don't know about the South or Midwest though.

I'm from the east coast and I prefer OChem.

I did live in a California for a little while...

Well, my school is odd anyway...we call it organic. Plain and simple. (and it's p-chem, analytical, and gen chem for the rest of them)

Gen Chem, OChem, PChem and Anal Chem. And then there's Inorg. I wonder why IChem hasn't caught on?

orgo FTW

 

[stylerprodigy]

From UCF Florida. Gen Chem, Organic, Biochem

I'm from CA and use o-chem but have also heard it called orgo from one of my GSIs (maybe she was from the east coast?).

 

[Jedix123]

orgo from texas but i am abit of a rebel.

this reminds me of the wacky contests in School Rumble.

 

[Severus]

Other. We referred to it as "that mutherfcking class".

Well, that or orgo. East coast represent.

 

[shantster]

Orgo, but I've heard people call it ochem before. I'm in the midwest BTW.

This poll would have been fun to see the breakdown of the parts of the US.

 

[Beau Geste]

When I talk to people, it's organic. When I'm on SDN, it's orgo or ochem to shorten it.

I'm in the midwest.

I'll represent from Minneapolis: O-chem all the way. I've never heard people call it orgo. We use gen-chem, o-chem, and p-chem at the U of MN. Did anyone see that map breakdown of "pop", "soda," and "coke" by region that was posted in allo? Very cool. Someone should make one of those for this debate.

 

[Dr.McDreamy]

p-chem, g-chem, o-chem from SoCal

 

[71263]

I took Orgo and Anal Chem the same semester. That was tons of fun

 

[Depakote]

orgo
gen-chem
bio-chem
p-chem

 

[Depakote]

oh, and it's soda, not pop.

 

[earlybird]

How the hell is 'orgo' winning?! IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!
O-chem all the way from the 3rd coast.

neither do "Chuck" for Charles, "Andy" for Andrew and better yet "Dick" for Richard but we say it anyway.

NY-orgo or organic. Ochem ...sounds just plain weird. I get goosebumps just saying it.

 

[Packamylase]

I say organic, but have heard primarily orgo. Have never heard o-chem before.

 

[NubianPrincess]

where the heck do people get orgo? o-chem and organic make sense.

It sounds so right

 

[SeventhSon]

i've never even heard of "orgo" until i came to this board. I can't believe "orgo" is winning... it reminds me of northern californias saying "hella", except this time the norcalers actually have the sense to call this subject it's true name "o-chem"
