      This is like my friends that are in the South that refer to all Soda drinks as "Coke"

      It's better than "pop"

      Or "soder".

      Soder is something you bake with. Baking soder.

      Yup, the same thing used to make the drinks 🙂

          It's true. Pop is a nickname. Coke is a mistake.

            I refer to carbonated beverages as "soda", and use the actual name of the drink when referring to a specific one such as Sprite or Pepsi.

            I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to a soda as a coke... only when asking for a Coca Cola specifically.

              Everything is "Coke" unless I want "Sprite" or "Dr. Pepper"...

              The waiter / waitress will usually say "is Pepsi ok?"

              To which my reply is, "Yeah, that's fine."

                In Texas they don't know what soda is most of the time. You say Coke for soda and Coke Coke for Coke, Pepsi Coke for Pepsi and so forth.

                  That's where just saying soda is much handier.

                    You clearly haven't been to the south then. 😉

                        The whole idea of dumbing down the request for a drink is mind goggling to me. Coke means everything, but a sprint or DP? what about 7UP? 😛

                        Seriously though, do most southern restaurants only carry coke/diet coke and no other options? that just seems weird.

                        You can't just go into a McD's and ask for a hamburger - there are 10 different options.

                              Not this one. I'm what you folks outside o-the-south might call culturally sensitive.

                                It's related to the you problem. Many southerns, Texas specifically, struggle with understanding the word "you". When speaking to Texas, you often have to adjust for their perceived meaning of the word. They use a non-English version of it, it's actually a form of Spanglish, where it means a singular you rather than the single or plural of English. English has no singular you, but the incredible Spanish influence in Texas has left the native Texans speaking Spanish but with English vocabulary in some weird spots, and this is one of them.

                                    In Texas you is singular, y'all is plural but only directed and all y'all is "everyone."
