    I thought it about was guessing the number of popcorns in the box at the theater to get a free refill.

    Nah,
    I thought it would be about pop culture,
    mostly music,
    dressed up in the latest fad and street styles of teenagers and young adults,
    or high romance, exoticism, goth, punk, rock etc,
    suped-up and fed back with glitzy professionalism,
    always commercial.
    I assumed it includes the latest fashions in flaunting sexual attraction with high energy, dance styles, and clothes,
    with suggestions of rebellion against whatever the last phase was
    and whatever the parents stand for. This post was edited by inky at March 5, 2020 11:44 AM MST

    I wanted questions about soda ...

    (NB - Pop is usually a name for a grandfather in Australia, but my grandkids call me Grumpy).

      I wasn’t attempting to use the same language. Why do you assume that the language of the response has to match that of the question or comment?  Were that the case, then the entire conversation should be in English.
