Well now that I've been rescued maybe you might want to sort out how not to leave said list lying around yeah? I mean... why is saving me at nine anyway?
It'd have been a birthday where I didn't end up with this odd funky smell in my hair? I swear I've washed it four times now. Hairs drying out from all the washing and it still smells like FEET.
You being captured wasn't my fault! Any more than it's normally my fault, anyway. It's just that I was so busy making that list that I didn't remember that you were gone. Wanted everything to be perfect, you know.
Oh no, I know how these things work. Cake and blowing out fires, first! That was going to be number eleven.
Damn, did I use an Americanism? Hard is the adjective we use to describe drinks that are alcoholic that normally aren't. Hard lemonade, hard cider, etc. It's a fruity/girly drink with a decent alcohol content that's popular with women Rose's age in America, so I thought she might like it. Is there an English equivalent? I'll change it.
Isn't cider usually alcoholic? I know nothing about it, except that it's made from apples. Well, mostly apples. I quite like the word hard for alcoholic, it's amusing :)
I think the nearest equivalent are alcopops, which are fruity and alcoholic, but mostly just taste fruity. If you wanted something like lemonade with alcohol, then you'd just put a measure of spirits in it (Archers with lemonade, usually).
No, we've got lots of non-alcoholic cider, especially where I live in New England. We call our sodas "soft" drinks, so I think it's mean to be a differentiation from that.
I just did a little research and outside the US, the company that makes hard lemonade just mixes vodka, carbonated water, and lemonade (as you said). Here, it's "lemon flavored malt beverage", so is actually more similar to beer. Just fruitier.
I'll change it, though. I think alcopops is a hilarious name.
