Damnit! Just when I thought you were into sniffing white stuff.
OMG LUDA NO! XD a Southern lesson for you... (and perhaps others)
in a Southerner's version of Hell frozen over (the North), i know they call coke (soda) pop, soda-pop soda-water, something, i think it depends on where you are at. i had a friend in jr. high say pop one time and i looked at her like she was nuts. i think i said, "wth did you just say?" and i laughed. she was cool.
in a Northerner's version of Hell all year round (the South, probably more specifically Texas), when we say "coke" we usually mean soda.
example: "Man, im craving some coke." now, unless you are talking to a cracked-out junkie, usually this means "I want a soda." sometimes, tho, some people actually mean "Coke", thus meaning Coca-Cola.
it sucks when you work in a restaurant because you have to be specific.
example: "What can i get you to drink today? Tea, water, soda?"
the previous situation can get worse when this happens:
Server: "What can i get y'all today?" *smile*
Redneck idiot: "Y'all got any Coke?"
Server: "No, im sorry, we have Pepsi."
RI: "Well, doesn't that just suck to high hell? What kind of restaurant is this? *Agitated sigh* Y'all got any Dr. Pepper?"
Server: "Yes, sir, we do."
RI: "Good, i'll take that."
oh, OT, im sorry, but i have to mention this. i swear on everything that is unholy this has been asked to me:
Me: "Hey, guys. What can i do for you today?"
RI: "Do you guys have any tacos or nachos here?"
*we were in an purely ITALIAN restaurant (ok, their motto was "For some REAL East Coast pizza, come to (rest. name)!")
you probably don't want to know what was going thru my head... and that wasn't the first time someone had asked me a question similar to that!
