      since I moved away before that fad. 😄

      You are a very wise woman. Or incredibly lucky. Or both.

        @silverfox Look, if you need someone to drive me from A to B (and uber hasn't been invented yet), you might take a cab. You might take a taxi. But if you tell people you're calling a taximeter cabriolet you're gonna get funny looks.

            I mean, I do now live in Austin where they are obsessed with Topo Chico.
            Which is worse than LaCroix. It doesn't even pretend to have flavor. It's just like 'yo, cheap carbonated water here.'

            Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

              @Tinuviel I read that as 'Taxidermy Cabaret and was instantly intrigued.

                @Wretched That'd be a very different version of Willkommen

                  Excuse me, I think I'll take a taximeter to work today.

                    When it comes to water. We usually call the carbonated water mineral water and the non carbonated water 'water'.

                    What is obvious to you may not be obvious to me and vice versa.

                      It's "soda water" around here.

                      Mineral water around here is either "super-expensive tap water" or "water that tastes like rocks".
