People who say "pop" are "cooler"...???

This must be true based on a survey of one. I am one of the least-cool people I know.

And when I hear people call soft drinks, "Pop," the term sends a shiver down my spine. I really don't like the word "pop" for soft drinks at all.

"Stop by the store and buy some pop." [shiver]
"Let's go get some pop." [shiver]

I just don't like the sound of it, yet my nickname for my daughter is "Beebop," so it couldn't be the "op" sound.

I also don't like calling soft drinks "sodas" because that bothers me, too, but not as much as pop.

Something must have happened in my childhood...

Oh, and I'm not cool, so I guess the pop thing is a good yardstick in this survey of one.
