If I ask my bartender for coke and they bring me a glass of soda I’m going to be very disappointed.

Phosphine posted:Pop, soda, whatever, don't care, but who the gently caress says "coke" as a generic term? That's explicitly short for coca cola. What.  You order a coke, they ask what kind, and you specify the brand name (ie. Doctor Pepper).

HenryJLittlefinger posted:From Arkansas, can confirm its mostly "coke" that I heard. If you want an actual Coca Cola, the response to "what kinda coke" is "coke cola." It was always this in Texas too. Anyone saying otherwise is a transplant pretending or a pod person.

This debate has long plagued our country. We need to throw off all the past terms for something more neutral and boring. That is why several years ago, perhaps a decade, I switch to saying "soft drink". Be the change you want to see.

I just say beverage. But then people go "but that could mean alcoholic!" To which I reply with a nod and a tap on the nose. But then they go "but that means coke! We're just going in circles here!"

Old people in some parts of Ireland still call any fizzy drink a "mineral", only its not pronounced like you think, more like "minner-dl" "Have ye got any minnerdls in the fridge there?" edit: and they wouldn't be thinking of coke or fanta or pepsi, none of that fancy shite, it was always going to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ill7qaxFaOA Pookah has a new favorite as of 12:50 on Dec 11, 2023 |

Back in 2010 I dated this girl who referred to her vehicle as a "jeep". It was a fuckin Santa Fe. Or like how people call every tablet an iPad. Every non-apple phone is a Samsung. 'Round these parts we call cola "drinks". "Gimme a can of drinks" you'd say. I know its wrong on so many levels. If I were to go into a friends place and ask for a pop or a soda, I'd be laughed at until 2024.

I'm pretty sure I just use names for things, but as an overall term my brain has spat out "fizzy pop" Try that one, see if they laugh at you less.
