> [@Doctor\_Jackson](#): > > She could just say “Do you want a cup o’ nasty?”. I would understand that immediately to mean Pepsi products. No, a cup o’ nasty would be a Diet Coke. Diet Pepsi at least tastes like cola. Diet Coke just has a wierd chemical taste. ---

At first I thought she was asking if I wanted a Domestic Partner. I was like, “No, not really. Well maybe if he cooks.” ---

> [@boytyperanma](#): > > … > > The bartender at a place I’ll have lunch every few weeks … I like the cut of your jib! To answer your question, I would not have understood what a “DP” was. I mean, I will _now_, but I wouldn’t have before now. Now, If a bartender asks me if I want a DP, I’ll say: “No thanks, do you have any beer?” ---
