If I attempt a handstand, can I get a cookie too?

Sure, but I need proof!

Actually, sailor did a mistake, too. "...where the air SMELLS like a warm root beer." SMELLS. Not TASTES. Who on Earth could eat the atmosphere?! Get you all your cookies back!!!
I forgive you, my children.
But sailor, one question. You said "da?" in the end of your answer. Can you please tell me where did it came from? 'Cause I've already heard it in several movies and amazes me very much just because that means "yeah" in Russian!

Well, her use of "da" was correct, was it not? I know sometimes I'll throw a foreign word into a sentence, just to spice it up. A favorite is "verdad", which means "right", loosely translated.
For example: "Albuquerque is a great song, verdad?"

Seva, I've always thought "da" meant "yes" in Russian. That's why I put it on the end of my sentence. Was it improper usage?

I almost thought she said Duh. Sorry.
I almost had it, but I fell down.

I've heard "da" used in a sentencce by an American or two before. I've also heard "nyet". hehe!
Verdad is Spanish. I think it really means "true".

Ah so! Oh, I get it. 
I've also heard "da" in a movie "In&Out" and was pleasantly surprised!
