Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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?
Exactly like that, tommyrot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Just like that, tommyrot. It doesn't even sound strange to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"I'll have a Coke."
"What kind?"
"Coke."
No different than someone saying they'll have a pop or soda.

"I'll have a Coke."
Only, in my mind, in that sentence coke would not be capitalized.
coke=pop, soda
Coke=Coca-Cola

We use coke in NM as well.
Even when we mean jarritos.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ke-razy. Can it be used for any drink or just for carbonated beverages?
Well you wouldn't ask for a coke if you wanted iced tea, but if say you wanted a Big Red- that's a coke.
I had a non-southern English teacher in 4th or 5th grade who was always going on about calling adhesive bandages Band Aids, and Xeroxing things when you were actually copying them, I'm sure people asking for Cokes all the time drove her bugfuck.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Hmm, I guess it's no different than offering someone a kleenex instead of a tissue.
Still, would it work if you were offering more than just soda choices. Could you say, "Want a coke? I have Coke, 7Up or lemonade." or is it only for soda?
The things I learn around Buffistas. (Well, I guess I learned it from my co-worker. Y'all just reinforced the learning.)
ETA: I remember Big Red. That's some good soda. I am a fan of the fruit flavored sodas in general.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No different than someone saying they'll have a pop or soda.
Not exactly.
"I'll have a pop."
"What kind?"
"Pop."
