Hi there,
Am reading a British chick lit book, Here Come the Girls by Milly Johnson.
Is the word pop used at all in the UK to mean soda? Because here's what one character, an older woman, in a wheelchair, says,
"I've run out of pop."
I can't think what else pop could mean here. There's not much in the way of context. Olive comes home, where she takes care of her mother-in-law Doreen.
'I've been sat here for ages watching the same channel. The batteries have conked out in the remote.' Doreen Hardcastle huffed with some annoyance. 'And I've run out of pop.'
'Where's David?' asked Olive, falling into automatic 'sorting-Doreen-out' mode and going to the drawer for a pack of AA batteries.
Thank you!
