[Edited on July 10, 2008 at 12:37 AM. Reason : whoops, didnt see you had already mentioned it]

7/10/2008 12:36:28 AM

You know, sodaular. It's the new slang all the cool kids are using.

7/10/2008 12:36:51 AM

ha, I read it as coke-ular</southern>



Jesus fucking christ, it's "pop-ular." Fuck that yankee cultural bias shit

[Edited on July 10, 2008 at 12:42 AM. Reason : .]

7/10/2008 12:40:43 AM

My fucking northern ass thought soda or cock-ular as well.

Pop...Fuck, if only I was from Iowa.

7/10/2008 12:54:09 AM

Pop is not a northern thing. I have family in NY and never in my life have I ever heard anyone refer to soda as 'pop' in my entire life.

7/10/2008 12:56:18 AM

2. Forgive, Forget

Pop's a dumbass Michigan/Canadian thing.

I cheated. You can only get #5 if you know what the whole word is.

the second one reminds me of the song we used to hear at church that says "he's got the whole world in his hands" but it seems a little trite.
