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

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

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……

“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…

At least it’s based on “soda pop”.

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

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

CNN is headquartered in Atlanta and like what? Why?

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.

I agree! Pop is the correct term to use if you want to be correct at the expense of being cringe. Cool kids have always said soda. You nerds still can’t distinguish between a float, a malt, a shake, and a soda! I can, so I have no need of this “pop”.

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.

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.
