Anyone from Mississippi/South

[goldandblue]

It has to work better than saying “I’ll have a pop please.” I always wondered about that one. Do you want a lollipop? popsicle? Are you wanting to get high? Do you want me to punch you?

Here in Cali we have this really crazy system,.. we state exactly what we want. I know it sounds crazy but try and follow me here… If you want a Diet Coke, you say, “I’ll have a Diet Coke.”… Want a Dr. Pepper? All you have to say is, “I’ll have a Dr. Pepper please.” It’s nuts, you can even add shit like, “ Can I have extra ice please?”


…

That is hilarious. Reps.

I ordered a soda one day and the waitress looked at me kind of funny. Then she said "Bless your heart" as she turned to leave. She brought me back a coke.

So how do you ask what they have? For instance, "What kind of ___ do you have?"

I dont have a problem with "soda" or "pop", since that's the actual name of the product. All soft drinks were originally marketed a "soda pop". So it makes logical sense.

Calling it all Coke is silly though.

Again, we just make shit up as we go I guess...

We have these things called' Menus', and on these 'Menus' are lists of all the different drinks they have ... if that fails we even have an extra special phrase we use as a stop-gap...

"What do you have to drink?"

Tell me more about this Atlantis you call home.

It sounds glorious.

We don't care to talk much.......

I'm sorry but if I say I want a "pop" or a "soda" and you don't know what I'm talking about, you have been living under a rock for quite some time.

Oh, they will know what you are talking about but just look at you like your some dumbass yankee that should go home. LOL.

 

[ACamp1900]

Honest, if someone were to ask me if they can "have a pop"... I would have no freaking clue how to respond...

 

[greyhammer90]

Not saying anyone in this thread is a liar, but I've lived in Tennessee and now Georgia my whole life and if you say "I'll have a Coke" they'll bring you a Coke. If you want a Sprite you call it a Sprite.

I don't know where the myth of Southerns saying "I'll have a Coke" meaning "I want to be asked a follow up question about what kind of soda I really want" comes from but I have a theory... The only time you'll hear me call all Sodas collectively "Coke" is when it's clear what I mean from the context. For example: "What kind of Coke do you have?" In that way it's obvious I'm not talking about Coke but Sodas.

But in my experience if a waitress asks you what you want to drink and you say "coke", she's going to bring you a coke without hesitation.

This attitude will lead to you eventually breaking 2 of my 3 rules. Not off to a good start.

I will agree that saying "Pop" in the South is asking to get your ass kicked though.

Why so serious?

 

[greyhammer90]

Why so serious?

? Didn't mean to come off as angry or anything. Just telling my experiences.

No worries bro. A little Yankee hazing is ok.

 

[goldandblue]

Yeah. Looks like the fun is over...

What fun?!

I like quite a bit of soul/southern food… but crawfish I just can’t get into… very little meat to begin with and the one time I tried them I asked what all the little pink dots are and the waitress explained that “those are the babies, that one was pregnant.” And I just couldn’t eat anymore… No go on the crawfish.


I'll take reg old tea too...

But I do enjoy some good black eyed peas, greens, hush puppies, ox tail, stuff like that.

Always knew you had a little southern in you. Now, we just need the Bama fan in you to come out.

War. Damn. Eagle.

DO NOT ask for a "soda". Ask for a coke and they/we will ask you what kind...

HAHAHA! So true my friend! This is what it normally sounds like when ordering...

Waitress- What can I get you to drink Sugar?

Customer- Just bring me a coke Hun.

Waitress- Okay, what kind would you like Sweetie?

Customer- Sprite

 

[bigedefense]

I've heard this before and I've always wondered what do you say if you ask for a Coke and they say "what kind?"? Do you then say "a Coke" if you in fact actually want a soda that comes in a red can with white writing? Do they then ask you "what kind?" again? That could go on for days...

Down here, "coke" is anything carbonated.

No italics because I am serious here. Here in "Tha Sip", when someone says that, they are meaning Awe look, he's got a lot of tard in him.

Also, if someone says, "God love him", that means the same thing as "Bless your heart". It means they think you may be reTARDed.

Another Mississippi saying to watch out for is, "Gos love him" or "I love him to death". Those sayings mean that they are about to talk some serious trash about that person.

For example...
I love him to death, but he still SH1TS in the bed & he's 40 years old!
Or
God love him! He ain't got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of because he gave all his money to that damn televangelist!


FOR THE RECORD, I do not use or condone using "retard". Just pointing out the hidden meanings.

Come on down & eat with me & you will see it here in Tupelo. All carbonated drinks around here are known as "coke".

Since you are at it bigedefense.... here are a few I thought of that fall in this category:

1. It's hotter than a billy goat's as* in a pepper patch.

2. He's a couple of sandwich's short of a picnic.

3. He's as useless as tits on a boar hog.

4. I bought it for a song.

5. He's as windy as a sack full of farts.

6. He's slicker than pig's snot.

7. He's drunker than Cooter Brown.
