There’s never as much fun as the Soda/Pop/Coke (seriously, why would anyone from any part of the United States think “Diet 7-Up” is the right answer to the question “what kinda coke you want”) debate between differing regions.Also, I’ve lived in multiple states in multiple time zones across the country, and the only place I’ve ever heard the phrase “Not for Nothing” is in Aaron Sorkin dialogue. Of course, I’ve heard it said so much there by people from so many different background…

I’m on an … expedition,
Where there’s no mail or phones!
Before I … start this mission,
You want to jump my bones!
You want to jump my bo-o-ones,
I’ll let you jump my bones!

You’ve got a … human body,
with over-active stones!
You like to … do things naughty,
You like to jump my bones!
You like to jump my bo-o-ones,
Tonight, you’ll jump my bones!

When you escaped from Hell’s damnation,
You liked food!
And then came phy-si-cal sensation!
Lust ensued!
We got nude!
Then we screwed!

Your body … likes my body,
For me, you’ve got a jones!
Good thing that … you’re a hottie!
Let’s jump each other’s bones!
Let’s jump each other’s bo-o-ones!
Let’s make some nasty moans!
Let’s jump each other’s bo-o-o-o-o-o-ones!

Most recent example: I work at a bank in New Jersey and when I went to report a day off (that had been previously authorized), it seemed like the database had a glitch. It wouldn’t let me take a “holiday” off. So I mentioned it to my supervisor and she reminded me that in my home country “holiday” and “vacation” are not synonyms. I reported a “vacation” day instead and it worked.

One of these days I might get promoted to the point where I can set holidays and I’ll accidentally give everyone in the company a week off instead of just me. And if the elevator is broken, maintenance will wonder why the hell I want the “lift” fixed.
