<p>And by that you mean the flour you're borrowing to bake a cake, right? Thought so.</p>
<p>Ah ok. I never took the time to look into it because I was a bad person and did no work on other apps during the waiting period. I just accepted the fact that I was going to be STRESSED OUT in the 2 weeks before deadlines - thank goodness luck turned my way ;)</p>
<p>Phil, I say "pop." Are the rest of you "soda"-philes?</p>
<p>Post 900.</p>
<p>Actually to make muffins, kat. Muffins.</p>
<p>Ewwww, you say the p-word? I had such a high opinion of you up until now, katamera...</p>
<p>But HAPPY 900! anyways. Pfft. <em>breaks out e-champagne</em></p>
<p>haha I should say Pop, being from Minnesota and all, but I say Soda because it sounds prettier.</p>
<p>But I do have a MN accent, unfortunately. It's true.</p>
<p>Happy 900th!
<em>fireworks</em></p>
<p>I thought in the south people refer to all sodas as "coke"</p>
<p>And Oregon people say "pop" too! lol</p>
<p>and also breaking out the <em>e-coke</em> (let me reiterate - e-pop, or e-soda if you insist on being lame)</p>
<p>we're just being debaucherous here tonight. muffins, champagne... yum yum :)</p>
<p>edit: prettyfish, what does a MN accent sound like? has anyone ever described it to you? i've never heard one before.</p>
<p>What IS a MN accent?</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? Moi?
Southern pride, baby! "Coke" all the way!</p>
<p>jk...I'm not the Confederate flag-waving type. But yes, I do say "coke".</p>
<p>YOU HAVE A MINNESOTA ACCENT, PRETTYFISH?! You and I are going to get along just great. Juuuuust great. May I call you Amber Ayyydkins? From Minnesohhhhta? Oh, how I loved that movie. Beautiful times, beautiful times. Oh, how I want to visit Minnesota...</p>
<p>And yeah, "coke" is pretty popular here too. But all the old folks say "soda." It's wee-uhd.</p>
<p>We call it "Coke" here if it..... is Coke, or some variation on it (Diet, Cherry, etc.). What do you all call a non-Coke carbonated beverage - notice the avoidance of the use of both "pop" and "soda," to be nonpartisan :) - like Sprite?</p>
<p>"Sprite" :)</p>
<p>If I were a true Southerner, I'd call everything "Coke" indiscriminately, but alas, no.</p>
<p>Well, if we're ordering something, we call it a Sprite or Pepsi or whatever. But if anything's just lying around and we're just hanging out, we'll say, "Hey, grab that coke for me. Mm'k, thanks." Or peraps, "Dood, I need a coke right now. Can you pop one out of the fridge?" when all there is is like Sprite or Dr. Pepper in the refrigerator. It's great.</p>
<p>Funny thing, though: all lemon lime-flavored drinks here are called Sprite. Whether it be 7Up, Mountain Dew, or H-E-B's Lemon Twist, we call it Sprite. I think it's hilarious. We started noticing that recently...</p>
<p>Wow, it definitely IS like a whole other country down there...... but how would you distinguish between two drinks in the fridge? Coke sub-1 and Coke sub-2?</p>
<p>No, because like I said when we order something from a restaurant, we call it by it's actual name (i.e. Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, etc.). Thus all confusion is lost :)</p>
<p>And yes, it really is. With an seemingly different language to boot, hehe.</p>
<p>Ah, I posted that bit before your post, Phil. But then you so nicely anticipated my question that I went back and changed it. :)</p>
<p>I'm expecting to hit a 60-second rule any time now.... talk about nostalgia.</p>
<p>I love Drop Dead Gorgeous like nothing else. That is from there, right? In any case, good Minnesotan movie.</p>
<p>Basically, it's like in Fargo, only really not that bad - though I have heard it that bad. I sort of just accentuate vowels - minnEEsOOhta, etc. The o's are the worse, they come out my nose. </p>
<p>I never thought I had one, either, until I went to math camp in Nebraska. the NEBRASKANS made fun of it. For shame.</p>
<p>Yes, all lemon bevs. are "Sprite" here, too. It actually leads to less confusion (those brilliant Southerners) because when you're ordering in a restaurant, you never have to worry about whether the restaurant sells a certain brand. If you want a lemon-flavored carbonated bvg., you just say "Sprite". Simple, no? ;)</p>
<p>prettyfish---come to KY, and if WE make fun of you, you'll know you're in trouble. =)</p>
<p>okay, prettyfish...you're my hero. You are the first person I've run across outside of the small group I actually watched DDG with who has actually heard of the movie. Bless you, child. Bless you. My friends and I have been trying to master the Minnesota accent ever since then. One of my friends seriously could pass for a native. Good times, good times.</p>
<p>And if there's confusion, the person will say, "Whadya want? We got Coke, Sprite, etc. etc. blah blah blah de blah blah." So yeah, we eventually eliminate confusion. Eventually :)</p>
<p>And hahaha, katia, I knew Texans couldn't be the only ones who do that. It's just a Southern thang lol.</p>
