Okay, I should be doing work right now, but this just about blew my mind: according to Nick, Kiwis don't say soda OR pop OR soda water OR fizzy sugary stuff. They just never say it. They know what soda pop is, but when I asked what they called it here, he said nothing. I said, nothing? How can they call it nothing? He said they just ask for it by name, as in, "I'll have a Coke" or Pepsi or Sprite or root beer. The need to call it by a broader name just doesn't come up. Kate, is this true???
Speaking of which, I could really go for a Coke right now, but it is really expensive here.
Okay, back to mammoths and their proboscidean brethren. Just had to share.
