I cant imagine someone saying
-"I want a Sprite Coke"
-"A WHAT?"

Nobody would say that anyway, any more than they would say "I want a Sprite soda" or "I want a Sprite pop" . It is redundant and they would simply say "I want a Sprite"

One more time...in the south "Coke" is a euphemism for all carbonated beverages..

If I'm going to the store to get a drink, I would tell my co-workers,I'm going to the store to get a Coke, can I get you one too?" The coke is a replacement for "soda" or "pop". My co-worker might answer "Yes get me a Mountain Dew" while I myself would get a Dr Pepper.

At the restaurant the waiter might ask what you want to drink. I might say "I'll take a Coke....make that a Sprite". You see that "Coke" just replaces "soda" or "pop".

I think it all boils down to Southern Pride, since Coca-Cola is a decidedly Southern invention.

It's like saying, "Yes I will have the chicken. Make it the Prime Rib."

 

[PUSH]

Just saying, but we have hit page 800 on this thread thraed.

NO...it's like saying "I'll have meat...make it prime rib."

Yes it was....Did you catch the highlights or did you watch it live? Either way that last second was AWESOME!!!

 

[Nemo14]

We saw most of the second half. DH was helping a friend with a new HD TV, so they wanted to watch the game once we got it set up for them. Funny part? They're Alabama fans. Awkward!!!

I was raised in a mixed family. My mother went to Alabama...my dad went to Auburn. So I was raised pulling for both teams. However, my attending Auburn sealed the deal with the Auburn/Alabama game!

But "soda" means Soda Water.

.

We used "Coke" that way in Memphis. But I heard "pop" quite a bit when traveling or visiting relatives in KS, MO or OK.

My father said "warsh" for "wash." He was from KS.

My wife says "sear-up." I didn't know where that came from but read recently it's mostly a NE Atlantic coast thing, from NJ to southern New England. My wife was born in NJ.
