One of the girls at work will not take responsibility for anything she does wrong and always blames whoever or whatever she can for it. I hate it.

Take her to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again.

Referring to soda as "soda pop" or "pop." Makes me want to punch babies.

It is cause you live in cali. We in minnesota call it pop 24/7 and til the cows come home! Soda is awkward for me to hear.

My peev is my boss flicks his finger nail to make this really weird noise when he is thinking, rather annoying.

LOL, there is a guy here I work with that gets annoyed by that as well. I make a point of going to get a "Sodee Pop" whenever I can.

What is that, some kind of passive aggressive thang?

As for soda/pop... how about a "bicarbonate"? If someone is really anal about using a specific term then avoid the common dichotomy and rather throw the really queer schtuff their way: start calling any such beverage a sarsaparilla. After awhile change it to sarsasparill-ee (note insertion of extra "s"). Meanwhile be sure to watch for signs of the victim's breakdown -namely facial tics and so on.
