Coke--- I remember my english teacher in Portales telling us how people in different areas have different ways of saying it, she said "here we say coke others say pop,soda or sodapop"
Actually, that map shows Bernalillo county as decidedly "Coke". Tends to be frustrating when someone tells you they want a Coke, and you get them a Coca-cola, then they get mad at you:
"I wanted a Sprite!"
My question is:
What exactly is "other"? Torrance, Grant, and a couple other counties were decidedly "other". Perhaps a Torrance county resident can tell us what they call 'em?
Growing up in NY, One of my friends had a grandma who kept "seltzers" in the fridge. That meant Coke, 7up, etc. She was a Yiddish speaker for what it's worth. Seltzer is popular in New York though it usually means carbonated mineral-water sometimes with a slight flavouring.
