The Colbert Report: "soda water"

[Wilson Gray]

Did anyone else notice the inadvertent use of (old?) Southern "soda
_water_" by Colbert, a native of South Carolina, in an environment in
which he otherwise was using "soda _pop_"?

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
