Leave Dr Shasta alone. That shit (and its variants) slaps.

SPRUNT,

Cream Soda Shasta in a half-can is a time machine that sends me to my grandparents house when I was 7.

Is there a drink called Mr. J?

*ravenous

It’s ravenous wolves, not ravening. WTH does that even mean?

Okay but it still says ‘ravenous’ in the original.

funkless_eck,

ravenous is adjectival

ravenning is the participal or gerund

There are multiple translations of the bible. Anything but the original Hebrew is a translation after all.

TL;DR: Ravening seems common in the King James Version and some of it’s derivatives, while Ravenous is common in more modern translations, even the strictly literal ones.

From Bible Gateway:

  • KJ21, ASV, BRG, DARBY, DRA, GNV, JUB, KJV, AKJV, NMB, RGT, WEB, YLT say ravening (13)
  • AMP, DLNT, EHV, ESV, ESVUK, EXB*, LSB, LEB, MEV, MOUNCE, NABRE, NASB, NASB1995, NCB, NKJV, NRSVA, NRSVACE, NRSVCE, NRSVUE, OJB, RSV, RSVCE, & TLV say ravenous (22)
  • AMPC says devouring (1)
  • CSB & HCSB say ravaging (2)
  • CEB, EXB*, GW, NOG, & NLT say vicious (4)
  • CJB, NIRV, NLV, NTFE, & VOICE say hungry (5)
  • CEV says “wolves who have come to attack you” (1)
  • ERV & ICB say “really dangerous like wolves” (2)
  • EASY says “like hungry wild dogs” (1)
  • EXB says “dangerous like wolves [underneath/inwardly they are ravenous/vicious/ferocious wolves]” (1, only one to say vicious)
  • GNT says wild (1)
  • ISV says savage (1)
  • PHILLIPS says greedy (1)
  • TLB says “wolves and will tear you apart” (1)
  • MSG gets rid of the metaphor entirely (1?)
  • NCV, EXB* say dangerous (1)
  • NET says voracious (1)
  • NIV, NIVUK, EXB* say ferocious (1)
  • WE says “wolves, bad animals that kill sheep” (1)
  • WYC says “wolves of raven” (1)

That’s 13 which say ravening, 22 that say ravenous, and 27 that say something else.


Lets ignore the frivolous rewritings and retranslations and go with popular books. This list is biased toward new versions because it’s partly based on bestselling versions, but if you have readership data, I’d love to see it! In no particular order: The New International Version (NIV), the King James Version (KJV), the New Living Translation (NLT), the Common English Bible (CEB), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), the New English Translation (NET), the New Revized Standard Version (NRSV), and the English Standard Version (ESV).

  • NIV: Ferocious
  • KJV: Ravening
  • NLT & CEB: Vicious
  • NASB & NRSV & ESV: Ravenous
  • NET: Voracious

King James seems alone with Ravening, but I know many people are King James only, so that’s pretty common. New International Version not being either Ravening or Ravenous surprised me, but there you go. Ravenous is definitely common in modern versions, including the NASB which seems to be very literal.

Thanks for your thorough investigation into this.

TimewornTraveler,

smh no translations as “om nom” or “yummy yummy yummy”? 😡

Mr_Dr_Oink,

You missed Professor Peppy.

I know there’s probably more, but i feel like this one is important.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He’s not a real doctor!

funkless_eck,

how do you know it’s a He 😮‍💨

FlyingSquid,

The professor and I know each other well.

Doctor:I’m the doctor. Me: dr what? Doctor: no no you’re supposed to say who. Why did you say what. Doctor who intro starts and the title is “the carbonated waters of Mars”

Dr.who now that’s a soda I have yet to try

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

It’s really too bad Kroger discontinued “The Fizzicist”.

dejected_warp_core,

That’s a frustratingly good name too.

I don’t normally drink sodas but man do I want to drink that for the name alone.

Dr Perfect

Ok buddy, chill out.

I’m not looking for Dr. Perfect, just Dr. Right.

Best I can do is Dr Fine.

Dr Perfect is the enemy of Dr Good Enough

tdawg,

As a former soda enthusiast I will always die on this hill. Dr. Pepper is Dr. Pepper. No, your Mr. Pibs and Dr. Thunders are not “basically the same thing,” just give me a damn root beer instead!

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

I absolutely agree. There’s no beating the OG. But I’m a big fan of Dr Shasta too.

    My favorite dumb Dr. name was "Dr. Furr's" from Furr's supermarkets in the 80s

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    There is some erotic Dr. Furr fan fiction that will not surprise you.

    squiblet,
    @squiblet@kbin.social avatar

    I’m not sure how Roy Furr would feel about that. I wish I could find a photo of some old guy from the 60s to link but apparently it’s also the name of an Internet marketing person.

    EpeeGnome,

    I respect any soda that puts in the time and effort to earn a doctorate degree. You know who I don’t respect? Mr. Pibb, who can can take his undergrad ass and fuck right off.

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Excuse me, but Pibb now identifies as Xtra, not Mr. I think we should respect their gender identity.

    recapitated, (edited )

    It doesn’t take a medical degree to know that stepping on a cushion would be comfy.

    Got_Bent,

    Back in my soda drinking days, Dr. Thunder was pretty legit.

    alquicksilver,
    @alquicksilver@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s a damn good replacement for Dr. Pepper, even today. Hell of a lot cheaper if you ever buy in bulk.

    Tofushopdriftin,

    I want a Dr. Becker. I loved that show

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Highly underrated show. It made me realize Ted Danson was actually funny long before The Good Place.

    LEONHART,

    Bored to Death did that for me.

    itsgroundhogdayagain,

    Becker was on for so long but a lot of people still never gave it a chance.
