Subject: Re: pop/soda + queries



kids pile on top of each other = king of the hill



re soda/pop/tonic etc. The word I had to learn when we spent summers

in rustic NE Pennsylvania was "phosphate" -- meaning any fountain soda.

I would order a cherry phosphate or a lime phosphate. The word soda

(my dialect) was not known; pop was understood, and offered to clarify

'phosphate' to strangers.
