~~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

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…

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.

Stupid shit like this hits hard to some folks in the south. I have family members are pissed how “everything is changing”, so much in fact that this very thing caused a disturbance at a local college pub. Last year, one of my dumbass family members was thrown out for being rude. When I asked him what happened he said…

" That god damn Yankee girl wanted to know if I wanted a fucking pop. What the fuck is a pop? So I asked her. She said something like a soda or whatever and I told her, it’s a fucking coke and she needs to go back to fucking Chicago and get fucked. Don’t bring your stupid shit down here."

Even more f’d up, is he would have ordered a Sprite.

I dislike a few of my relatives.

“Why don’t my nephews visit me anymore?” --Them on their death bed

Sprites are great, what’s with all this sprite slander? Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc are the best sodas.

You’re missing how it works; you ask for a Coke, the server says what kind, and you say Sprite.

But they’re not a damn coke

Why you gotta leave out the og? 7up is the quintessential lemon lime beverage. Much better in a cocktail, IMO.

While my own similar rant would have been only meant in play, this is how I feel about both o’ y’all. It’s a fucking soda. Gonna just go all the way and call sweet tea a coke too?

Y’all slurp down sweet tea like yer granpappy’s gonna whip yer ass if ya don’t an’nen go an bitch about insulin prices

If it’s carbonated.

Same, which is why I left that fucking shithole

Calling it soda, good. Calling it pop, fine. Calling every soft drink a coke, fuck off.

Get this, in Scotland, pretty much any liquid is called juice.

I gotta put juice in my car, it’s on empty

Still makes more sense than calling Sprite “coke”.

Although I’ve always referred to buckfast as “the devil’s ribeana”. Although I do admit that the standard name is “wreck the hoose juice”.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Juice loose aboot this hoose!

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Soda is an always has been the right term, but the people who say “coke” to mean any soda are the most wrongest people in history

I agree, but I also don’t go around saying “cellophane tape” or “photocopy”, and instead tend to use “scotch tape” and “xerox”. Lots of other people do too. I know that’s wrong too, but it at least partially explains the whole “coke” thing.

Why though? There’s no sodium bicarbonate in those, only carbon dioxide for the bubbles?

Inshallah the South will no longer be a walking advertisement for coca cola 🙏

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Rule: You must post before you leave.
