FizzingWhizzbees said:i have a foolish question. y'know in the uk if you're careless with your use of the word coke, for instance "i'm dying for some coke right now" instead of "i'm dying for some coca cola right now" your words may be misinterpreted and friends may be lost and reptuations damaged and so on and so forth.
well, do other languages have that problem or is it purely a uk thing?

And you know you can't make the joke because you're not a man.

In Dutchiespeak, we usually only say 'cola' for the drink. No Coke or Pepsi or whatever. Just 'cola'.
FizzingWhizzbees said:that sounds beautifully uncomplicated.

FizzingWhizzbees said:Thank-you. I would hate for my feminine sense of childlike innocence to be destroyed.
Lara Mullen said:I shall email you with the plans that are in place now closer to the time, if I am going to follow them through.
I think those are the plans, I dno't think I imagined that conversation at least.
