Except soda water occurs in a naturally carbonated form. It’s existed for a lot longer, I think it kinda gets the right to be referred to as just “soda”.
Huh, and here I thought “smh” was short for something like “*so much hate”. That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.
Shm.Smh. The fucking people who call all sodas “coke”.Them: What kind of Ford do you drive? Me: a Chevy.

What does “shm” mean? I’m currently only reading it as an onomatopoeia and I don’t think that’s right.
Likely a typo for smh, which essentially means “shaking my head”.

It’s from Coca-Cola (headquartered in Atlanta) having total dominance of the south for a long time.
