I guess I'm linguistically confused. I grew up in Kansas saying "pop," went to school in Utah where I continued saying it, but spent a summer in NYC where I felt like such a rube that I switched to "soda." I still say it now that I'm back in SLC. However, I would say "Coke machine" or "pop machine," not "soda machine." A lot of people here seem to use the generic "drink" to mean a nonalcoholic, sweetened (usu carbonated) beverage, as in, "let's go to 7-11 and get a drink" (insert your Utah liquor joke here ). My nephew born & raised here always wants a "drink" from the Coke machine, not a soda/pop/Coke, etc.</font>
Also from Kansas, where it was always "pop." But certainly not
a pop; we always asked for
some pop.
And now, for the really fun stuff: Who ever asked for, and got, Graveyards at the little league games? I've also heard these referred to as Suicides.
