This is for y'all who give me a confused look at the restaurant when I say I'd like an orange pop, please. This isn't a Yankee term, either. One of my friends from NYC didn't have a clue what pop was the first time I used it. She said, "Oh, you mean soda."

I think of "soda" as what y'all call "spritzer".
