Dudes, I'm sorry, and I really am going to get cracking on the closing scenes of chappy four in precisely two seconds, but explain to me something:

Cordial, right?  You guys have cordial in Americaland?  Like, the fruit flavoring you put in water to make a drink?  Yes?  *hopes you do*

Well, it's really hot over here today, and I has just got up to ( Read more... )

"Cordial" here in the South--and I think generally in the US, although it is a word not much used any longer--is the same thing as "liqueur." In other words, it is flavor-infused alcohol. I think back in my grandmother's day, they used the word because it wasn't as obvious as "liqueur." Southern ladies might sip their cordials in the afternoon or after dinner and it was all very lace glove and genteel. I don't know about flavorings for water. Mostly they just sell already-flavored waters in the grocery store. By the ton!

Won't it be fun when you get to AmericaLand and get a laugh out of all the language differences?!!!

No cordial over here dragons! Can you believe that? Most advanced country in the world, no cordial. And it has affected me greatly, I used to drink a lot of cordial. They have kool aid instead which is powdered and you have to add a bucket load of sugar to it and it still tastes like shit.

High five on the test.

We here in the Colonies don't commonly have cordial anymore. I know what it is because I've read "Anne of Green Gables" which is set in the Americalands and therefore I'm sure someone somewhere sells cordial but I have NO idea how it tastes or what it looks like.

Honestly I thought cordial was alcoholic. I seem to recall the girls in "Anne of Green Gables" getting drunk off of it.

Well, in Anne of Green Gables (which was set on Prince Edward Island in Canada - you can visit) - they did serve cordial. Her "aunt" made a cordial but one had liquor and one was not - Anne accidentally served the liquor one to her friend and go her drunk, but Anne hadn't had any because she was so nervous about having her friend over for tea for the first time she never drank anything. So funny...

Now, up on my shelf I have a bottle of "cordial" with a picture of Anne of Green Gables on it, but my aunt bought that back after she visited PEI on vacation as a souvineer one year and I never opened it. Looks like it's probably just cherry soda in a bottle!

Dragons...cordial? I'm thinking not. Our grocery stores sell tons of lemon juice, though - so all hope is not lost... Hell, you could even buy LIME juice if you wanted...

You're right! And it IS Canada... obviously I'm misremembering this book all over the place.

I know cherry cordial that is it.
I don't think we use the word cordial that doesn't even look right as a word.
Maybe in the South, they say shit like that..... But not in the north.
That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Dragons.... You are coming to Chicago right? Hmmmm, I may have to stalk you.
NO! I don't want to meet you but I will sit one table over with my helmut on and holding a bunch of leaves really close to my face. That I can do.

In other news, I has achieved 100% on my forklift assessment. You know... *muses*... for some reason that's like... that's like Dean's foreplay thingy. Seriously.

Also, CONGRATS!

WTF? Has you gone MAD? Is we needing to shoot you (sadly)? What is you babbling about, woman?

Although the effects on cough syrup on me are still under discussion, NO. I am not mad. Well, no more than usual, i mean.

What i was saying was that, if you went to Dean Winchester and told him that you scored on your forklift assignment, he'd be jumping your bones like that. It would be like dirty talk to him, ya know? A chick that goes "i did 100 percent on my forklift assignment." Are you kidding? THERE WOULD BE SEX.

Now who's mad, huh?

I would totally have forklift sex with Dean. I would be up for that. Yes.
