~~Shm.~~ Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas “coke”.

Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

It’s from Coca-Cola (headquartered in Atlanta) having total dominance of the south for a long time.

It’s got what y’all crave

Yes, it’s got coke

Cocaine specifically

Atlanta is the most random place you can headquarter a company.

CNN is headquartered in Atlanta and like what? Why?

See also My Names Is Earl. “She was Chinese… Japanese, specifically.”

I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks “soda”

“soda” is not also a specific drink though

The only time people say “soda” where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)

Edit: It’s just an interesting difference in language, I’m not making an argument about what’s right…

If only there was a way to specify between a “soda” and a “soda water”

Except soda water occurs in a naturally carbonated form. It’s existed for a lot longer, I think it kinda gets the right to be referred to as just “soda”.

Whats to distinguish, they are the same drink.

If you want a pop just ask for a pop, silly goose.

Yeah that’s why we just say soda water.

Agreed, but we say pop around here.

Dude it makes perfect sense.

The “so” is the first two letters from the word and the “d” is the third letter. And the “a” is obviously because……

I’M SHOOK

You’ve changed my whole world

At least it’s based on “soda pop”.

What does “shm” mean? I’m currently only reading it as an onomatopoeia and I don’t think that’s right.

Likely a typo for smh, which essentially means “shaking my head”.

Huh, and here I thought “smh” was short for something like “*so much hate”. That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
