NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Random Person: Bob, would you like a drink, beer, wine?
Bob: I think I'll just have a soda.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I can't believe I said soda. The word is "pop".
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
I've been down here too long. Someone please send me an infusion of Canadianism.
Edit to add: It is raining and utterly miserable out. Mr Bob and I are meeting some people for dinner. I have decided just now that I am rich enough to pay the 8 dollars for a taxi. This is going to go over like a tonne of bricks with Thrifty McGee. Too bad. He is welcome to walk.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No you said it correctly. Pop is just silly.
Here put on your pilgrim hat and have a hot dog.
Heh. Down here in the south, it's "coke". Then you specify a brand name. *grin*
*adjusts new hat*
Arkie, that's just crazy talk. Do you say things like "I will have a Pepsi coke" or "I will have a Coke coke"?
Goofs
Eh?
I'll have a soda, eh?
Pffft! No, I would say, "Bob, do you want a coke?" After you replied yes, I would then ask "What kind?" Of course, when you are dining out, you order by brand name first off. And when I say I want a Diet Coke, and the waitress asks if Pepsi is ok, I barf and say no, just give me water. :P
Conversation
Arkie "Bob, do you want a coke?" Bob "yes, please"
Arkie "What kind?"
Bob "just a coke"
Arkie "What kind?"
Bob "with rum?"
Oooh! I want a rum & coke!
...and make sure it is real Coca~Cola. Mmmm kkkk? *grin*
Oh! ...and I do not want a lime in it, thankyouverymuch. If I did, I would've ordered a Cubra Libra (sp?) *grin*
"What kind of rum?"

I love that commercial.
All rums suck. Give me headaches. So give my rum & coke to Nutz, Arkie. All Bob really wants is some pop.
Most people in Michigan say "pop" but I always said "soda" because I didn't want to sound childish.
Thrifty McGee? *snorffle*
It's Coke, no matter the brand, dammit.
Coke is Coke. Pepsi is Pepsi. I don't understand calling all soda, Coke, anymore than offering someone a Rootbeer, and giving them a Sprite. *boggle*

I'm a pepper. He's a pepper. She's a pepper. We're a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?
By the way, the only "soda" I like is a root beer float.
Hmmm...I don't see anything wrong with the conversation as presented.
The weather is miserable. Just miserable. I think that Thrifty McGee is obviously nuts if he won't take a cab in this weather. If he saw what the rain did to my groceries yesterday, he would easily agree. My roommate just took a cab to and from the grocery store today...it cost her $3 each way.
