Its all very confusing

My kids say "soda pop" sometimes and it drives me nuts.

No you don't.


I say Soda all the time because my cat is named Soda.

"Pop" is the preferred nomenclature. One syllable.

A pot pie is a pie, I guess, same as a mince meat pie. So I'll walk back pies are desserts. They do use shortcrust pastry though. Pizza is made with yeast dough.

Now I have a taste for pizza and some pie.

The guy at Perry's Deli got all over me about asking for a bag or a sack, don't remember which one, but he claimed that Chicagoans only say one of them.

I don't know which but I apparently said the wrong one.

I don't know if this changed everywhere coincidentally when I moved to Pittsburgh but for restaurant leftovers they ask if you want or you ask for a box. Seemed I do not remember when doggie bag died out but it is strange to me.

Yup.

And don't even get me started on that "Za" douchebaggery.

I haven't heard the term "doggie bag" used in a serious manner in a restaurant in probably 25 years.

_________________

Yeah but I was struggling to recall what I said before "box".

_________________

I haven't either. But I miss it.

They even had a dog printed on the bag usually.

Half the time it was for me and not the dog.

I refuse to believe there was a "pre-box" Mike.

As a kid in the early 70s, "pie" seemed common iirc. Now it does sound odd outside of Italian communities. Tomato tomato, I could care less

In a Seinfeld script it makes sense to call it a pie sometimes because you don't want the actors to say the word pizza fifteen times in thirty seconds. It brings a certain distracting energy to the joke -- contrast with the scene where they are talking about the Mexicans ordering seltzer and getting salsa because the whole joke is about it sounding the same.

I think you could use pie if there's a pizza sitting in front of you, and you don't call it a pizza pie, you just call it a pie. But I don't think I would personally do that. If I owned a hot air balloon business and wanted to run a "Pie In The Sky" promotion where you eat a pizza up there, I think that is fine too. Most of the times I think it is OK is if you are working a pun or a joke in, except jokes about Felix Pie because it doesn't sound the same and therefore won't work very well.

It doesn't really work when you do it that way.

It's a semi. Tractor trailer elsewhere I guess.

Semi.

I also miss the doggie bag. The white bag with red lettering with the picture of the dog.

I really like that song, but there's this:

I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy,
I'm a lovable man....
