The visiting General, Matthius Holden, was sitting and smoking cigars with the other Drakonian Generals.

"...and so, the invasion went quite well in Al Anbar..thanks also to the work of your fine men!" General Holden remarked.

"Say, Im thirsty.....You gents got anything to drink around here?" The General asked.

"Sure Matti! Hostess, bring some Pop for our friend over here!" one of the Drakonians yelled.

The General looked confused. "What on gods gren earth is 'pop'?" he asked.

"Its a drink...you know a carbonated beverage..." the Drakonian Replied

"You mean a SODA?" The General asked increduously.

"Yeah, you could call it that too...We call it Pop here in good 'ol Drakonia." he replied.

The General started laughing his ass off.

"Do you..Do you..**laughs some more.** Did you ever read the label on one of those things? I dont see pop! But I do read soda!"

The Drakonian Official looked rather peeved.

"I mean I heard Soda called many things...but Pop?? AHAHAHAHA! HEre, say it with me one time! Soooo-duuuuh!" The General laughed again.

"Excuse me," General Derek Long resisted the urge to smack his Tersanctan counterpart, something that would be viewed as unexecptable social conduct. "I believe the term is POP. As in Soda...POP."

The general still laughing, "Look Derek...it called soda...it even says that on the can...go to any supermarket in Tersanctus, and the aisle will say,...SODA!"

As the days passed, what started as a silly arguement, turned into a national joke.

TNN News

A brown haired man in a grey suit with a large smirk on is face addresses the camera.

"...and on the lighter side of the news, It turns out Drakonians say "Pop" when referring to soda. Personally I never heard of this! We say soda! They say..."pop'? I mean Ive heard of Popping a pill, popping a tire, popping a balloon....but soda? **He pulls out a can of CrapCola** I mean look on this can here, **He Points** it clearly says "Refeshing Soda Beverage"!" He pops the top and takes a swig.

"Ah that is some goood CrapCola! back to you Silvia!"

"We have some sad news today...it turns out that a young boy attending classes today got assaulted and marked all over his body with marker for using the term "pop", by his classmates. He was marked with the word "soda" over and over again. The young boy was incidentally Drakonian.
