What could "other" be? Sodapop?
Soda pop was pretty common in King County when I was growing up.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

We used to say coke when I was growing up, but we were in Germany at the time. When we moved back to Delaware, I started saying soda at some point. In college I liked saying sodapop, because I thought it was festive and inclusive of my newly formed associations with Mid-Westerners. Now I say soda, or, actually, I rarely say soda, because usually I'm specifying what I want by brand. Phew.
You know, I have Southern relatives, and I realize now that when they asked whether I wanted a cold drink, I took it to mean any cold drink. I wonder whether they were being specific, and I just didn't know? Anyway, I always got something cold and drinky, so there you go.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm actually thinking I won't get any responses to Q&A. Except from Tim, but you know, love and stuff.
It's been less than a week and I sort of want to throw in the towel before I get too invested to the point of lighting things on fire.
This day will not end. It just won't.
I was thinking of Plei today, after a long Batman conversation.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, you know phrases like, "Holy crap!" or "Holy cow!" or "OMG!"? Used in the sense of, "Holy crap, that was a great movie!" Or "Holy cow, that dog just spoke to me!"
What is the term for those phrases? "Exclamation" isn't quite right.

Interjection, I think.
I am singing Schoolhouse Rock in my head as we speak. "Interjection! Excitement! And Emotion!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, yeah. I, too, went to my Favorite Schoolhouse! Schoolhouse Rock!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Interjection, I think.
Yeah. Or "Stuff Robin would say."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
msbelle made me snort.
(But because so many of my coworkers are in their 50s or 60s, I'm still seen as young. Sigh)
Yeah, that's a problem in my field, too. The g.d. baby boomers refuse to retire.
