"We have trust issues." Mylar

There is a girl in my office who won about 15 itunes in that Pepsi contest. Unbelievable. Alas, since I'm also not a Pepsi fan, I couldn't get on the itunes gravy train. It seems my taste in carbonated beverages is hindering my ability to get the good free stuff.

Also, I had a conversation with a co-worker from Texas and she swears that you can use Coke to refer to any type of soda. For example, a Texan might offer a soft drink by saying "Want a Coke? I've got Sprite, Pepsi and Orange Crush." Can it be true?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Can it be true?

Yep. Very Southern. I say "coke" for any carbonated soft drink.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yes. It's true most places in the south.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yes. That's my usage.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It was not uncommon in Phoenix as well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What do you ask for down south when you actually want a Coke?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Coke.

So,

"I'll have a Coke."

"What kind?"

"Coke."

like that?

Ke-razy. Can it be used for any drink or just for carbonated beverages?

Ann, that's a ferret.

That's it. "Coke" is fairly standard for "soft drink" in NC.
