Shoot

A colleague of mine just got back from a trip to Canada.

"Shoot," she said. "I've just been in a country where they say shoot."
"What?" said another colleague.
"You know, like the Vol says when she doesn't want to say another word that sounds similar. I thought it was just her, but apparently there's a whole country that says that."
"The better part of a continent," I said.
