Thanatos340 1 #2 February 19, 2007 I live in the South.. Here there is one word and one word only for a carbonated Softdrink. Its a "Coke" or Sometime refered to in the More Formal "Coka-Cola". A "Coke" comes in 100`s of flavors.. Someone asks "Uwana Coke", The answer is "Yes Mam/Sir, What kind you got?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 1 #23 February 19, 2007 QuoteWhat word do you use to refer to softdrinks? Gross? On the topic of brand names replacing object names in general (i.e. Coke, Kleenex, Xerox, or whatever), it's not correct, and saying "that's the way it's done in my city, get used to it" is a poor excuse. And to make this relevant to skydiving: BirdMan is not a synonym for wingsuit.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
