Eminem can shove a case of carbonated beverages up his asshole and jump up and down on a pogo stick until the lids POP off and give him a soda enema!


Well, just as long as it's soda and not pop.

When I set up my first home computer network, I assigned the name "SODA" to my machine and "POP" to my wife's. As a native of New England, I say "soda," and my wife, a native Midwesterner, says "pop." We have a running friendly argument about it.

I think "pop" sounds loverly.

But I like old fashioned thingies.

Hey, ur a New Yorker arent ya? All true New Yorkers call it POP. Or maybe that's just as upstate folks?

Anywho, the OFFICIAL word for it is "soda pop" so if you were to shorten it, the most likely result would be "pop" since "pop" is one syllable and "soda" is two.

Pop! (Just out of provocation)...

It IS called pop.

DigitalLisa said:

Detroit is in the house! And, there's lots of pop to go around!

the last time I was traveling overseas, "pop" drove me crazy

I normally say "pop" and I really noticed it while traveling...and to make it worse...every time I'd say "pop" I'd then think "Daddy Pop" and then that song would be stuck in my head...I was singing "Daddy Pop" for 3 weeks straight

Since then, I have broken the habbit and say "soda"

I have always related

the use of the word "pop"

when referring to soda

to backwards, redneck, hillbilly muthafuckas!!

Does that make me a prejudicial bigot???

Aannastesia said:

no, but it makes ya sound like you're drinkin some arm & hammer.

btw, "pop" is commonly used where i'm from as is...

Aannastesia said:

Yes...and ill-informed considering that people in Detroit and other urban areas use that term as well.

EXACTLY!!!

Aannastesia said:

Yeah.

This is funny. It's totally regional. In Cleveland, of course, we call it "pop." My Boston cousins call it "soda."

I think either beats "soda pop," "phosphate," "tonic," "seltzer," "fizzy drinks," "soft drinks," etc.

It's sodey pop.

Well according to Foghorn Leghorn it is.
And "soft-drinks" makes me cringe for some reason.

No one in NYC calls it pop unless they're from out of town. If you do say it in the city, you're liable to get thrown right out of the store.

Calling soda "pop" is like eating a slice of pizza with a knife and fork. It's no good.

I thought only hicks in northern wisconsin said "pop". I didn't know it was a nation-wide problem

generalizing all soda under the category "Coke" is even worse!

It certainly is a problem.

Here in Chicago, most people say pop too...I have caught myself doing it and I hate it.

I prefer to say soda, or whatever it is called, like I'll have a diet coke...
