My whole life there has been one word that has been my downfall when I hear it.
As soon as I hear it my skin crawls and my brain shrivels up.
The word is “pop”
No matter who says it, they always give it a very nasally annoying twang and then deny that they do.
I have had the conversation below too many times to count.
“Ugh that word”
“What word….”
“The p-o-p word”
“Oh! PAuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup”
“Yes! That word. Every time people say it, they say “PAuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup”
“I don’t say Pauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!” I say “Pauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!”
(My soul dies a little bit again).
Look, call it soda, call it coke, call it late to dinner, but for the love of G-d please do not say “POP”
I live in the midwest where I hear the word almost daily and it is leading to an early death.
No moist does not annoy me, but “Pop”? Oy!
