i find the generic use of the word coke for all carbonated soft drinks absolutely hilarious and at the same time completely ridiculous.

ah well, good old southern know-not.

Oh, you mean like Kleenex, Band-aid, Xerox, Frisbee, Jello, Q-Tip, ChapStick, Kool-Aid, Dixie Cups, Walkman, White-Out, X-Acto knives, Popsicles, Scotch Tape, Post-it Notes, Velcro, Cool Whip, Rollerblades, and Saran Wrap?

Yeah, good old southern know-not

Dont follow ur logic. Its almost always the first part that is used and not the second.
My name is Christopher. People call me Chris for short not Topher.
Just like say... Stephanie. People would call her Steph not phanie.
Cellular phone - Cell phone, not ular phone
okay ill give you telephone, phone and not tele
Gasoline- Gas , not oline.

Its SO... Duh?

Not second part, shorter part. If the right is shorter, so be it. Left, so be it. Usually happens to be the first part that's second, but not always.

Soda= the carbonated water used in making Soda-pop
Tonic= a slightly flavored carbonated water that used to be called Quartine (spelling??)
Pop= comes from the term "suddenly" as in the small sound that was made when you opened the container. Some even debate that it is in referance to the sudden refreshment you recieved from the beverage
Coke= the white powdery stuff (the beverage used to have some of the same ingredients as the white powdery stuff)

And just because I know whom Alley girl was having this discussion with I am voting for SODA!!!

Soda is just old fashioned.. Pop is the modern word for it.

I don't really say either.. I use the drinks actual name. I don't make a pop run, i make a pepsi run, or whatever.

but I say pop instead of soda as in, my favorite pop is Dr. Pepper.

[CaptaiN_JacK]
