Sadly, the amount of time I lived in Nebraska is now less than the amount of time I have lived in <REDACTED BOILY AS FUCK SW AMERICAN STATE>. This leads me to question if I still qualify as a Midwesterner.
It's over after this, we in Nebraska are gonna sign the separation papers after you questioned it.

It's probably better for both of you this way.

I'm sobbing uncontrollably knowing that I will no longer be allowed into Hy-Vee, Runza, or Big Fred's.
Good stuff. So good. I miss the last 2 so, so much.

Runza
Almost time for temperature Tuesday's.
Is this the wrong time to admit that I lived near Omaha for a decade and only went to Runza once, and I don't even know what Big Fred's is?
Also I say soda.

@Thenomain said in MSB Peeves:
I do not understand why people get up in arms about pop/soda/Coke. Except that "Coke" is a proper noun and should not be used as a collective noun.
Now excuse me, my allergies are making me sneeze my head off. Hand me some kleenex while I google a remedy.
Someone who says "pop" sounds like they're going to meet that cute boy/girl from third period at a diner to split a banana sundae in 1956.
Calling it "coke" is dumb because I need to clarify if I actually mean a coke or if I mean something else to get the kind of soda I want. That doesn't apply to "Kleenex" because the only people who have ever or will ever give a shit if their tissues are Kleenex-brand are employed at Kleenex's marketing department, and it doesn't apply to googling things because a) it's a verb, no one calls Bing "a google" and b) obviously I am using Google.

You should see if Microsoft is still paying people to use that phrase.

It's coke cause everyone's drinkin it. Just like drinkin tea. Y'all call it sweet tea, it's just tea.

@Doozer ...Atlanta? Because I remember getting the 'it's all Coke and don't you dare use that fuckin' P-word in this town' lecture from my Atlanta friends.
-
I served with a friend who called (presumably calls) all soda 'Coke'. I would reliably bring exactly that when asked. A Coke is a Coke, and while I might entertain some interest in what sort of soda a person would like, I won't voice the question of what non-Coke Coke they might enjoy.
Because standards.

@surreality Louisiana.
I bet that interaction was hilarious.
