uselessness commented on the word mountain dew
I spilled a whole cup in my car on the way home from lunch today. The lid popped right off. It turned my upholstery brown. Everything is sticky. It went in my lap too. I look like I peed my pants. Just thought I'd share.

At the foot of the hill, there's a neat little still, with the smoke curling up to the sky
By the smoke and the smell, you can painly tell, that there's poteen brewing nearby
For it fills the air with a perfume rare, and betwixt both me and you
When home you stroll, you can take a bowl or a bucket of the mountain dew...
Now learned men who use the pen, have written your praises high
That sweet poteen from Ireland green, distilled from wheat and rye
Away with your pills, it will cure all ills of pagan, Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat with a bucketful of mountain dew...
--traditional Irish song

If THAT were the mountain dew I spilled, at least I'd have an excuse for my clumsiness. No, the stuff I stickied my car with is the supersugary, hypercaffeinated, nonalcoholic green tonic that supposedly turns nerds like me into extreme sports mavericks but in practice just causes zits. And turns upholstery brown.

Oh. Eew.
Actually, I knew that, but I figured it was a fine term to add to my Pogues list anyway.
Gee, u, sorry about your brown pants. *snicker*
