    Default Life Imitates EoFF

    My family and I were sitting in the lounge chatting last night, just about random topics. After a bit of banter, my mother happened to mention 'Soda'. My father quickly interrupted, 'You mean Pop'.

    The discussion became a little more heated, with both insisting that their name was the 'correct' one. My parents come from opposite ends of the country, and obviously the beverage was referred to differently at each end. In the North it was Pop, in the south, Soda.

    Anyway, this was all very exciting. A Pop vs. Soda debate in my very own living room! I couldn't stop myself from laughing at the sheer absurdity of it all. Unfortunately, my parents didn't support their respective drinks quite as tenaciously as their EoFF counterparts, and the topic was soon abandoned. Neither side had refused to back down.

    Nevertheless, the situation was just too unusual not to post, so there it is. I guess this thread needs a proper topic, so here we go:

    Do your parents call it Pop or Soda?
    Has an EoFFish situation ever come up in your daily life?
    "The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    My parents and I don't dicuss a lot now... they just want me to get some good grades and they wnted me to left EOFF but I said 'Why? minutes won't kill no one'! So they let me be here but my parents don't like to talk about those things... My father and I we talk a lot about the universe and astronomy and well i talk to my mom about grades, boys (telling her that I don't have a portuguses boyfriend, I don't!) and noting else...

    We're so televisionteeterised that we just call it by whatever brand it is. Coke, Pepsi, etc, and it's corresponding flavour. I never knew it had a proper name.

    My Nan calls it Pop!

    There is that North/South divide in England where things take on different names isn't there. I call it by whatever the brand is personally.

    It's soda. My family calls it soda because it is soda. There is no pop!

    My parents don't like softdrinks and they call it "softdrink". Usually you have to specify what you want. If you want a coke, they ask you pepsi or coca-cola? Pepsi. Diet pepsi or normal pepsi? normal. In a bottle or a can?

    ARGH.
