I would just like to point out that I am not the only one on the planet that uses the word ‘soda’ to represent all Coke and Pepsi products or the phrase ‘shoot the shit’, which I did in a recent post and got much comment on. Here, in this post by Dooce, you’ll notice that she uses them both. In the SAME sentence.
Thank you.
You may resume your dithering lives.
It’s remarkable to me how much that interaction between Heather and Jon reminds me of you and me. I think I could easily come out with a fully formed precis about Peckinpah.
Oh yeah, and *mwah!*
I’ll show you Peckin up the Pah.
‘Soda’ means any Coke or Pepsi product? Of course it does! What else COULD it mean? Seriously.
Here in the South, ‘Coke’ also means any Coke or Pepsi product. (I’m guessing that’s because the Coca-Cola Factory is in Atlanta and we were all used to saying, “I’m gonna get a Coke…want one?” that it just naturally became the name of all, uh, ‘soda’.)
You got comments because you said, “shoot the shit”? I thought everyone said that?
