Ok, ok.. so maybe north Florida is the south, I don't know... All I know is that if you don't have a southern accent, it shouldn't be considered southern. And we say "coke" because the birthplace of "Coke" is in the south... Atlanta, GA, to be exact... And if I wanted a Dr. Pepper, I'd ask for one... Do you say you want a soda if you really want a Dr. Pepper? And if I wanted a Pepsi (ick ick ick... why I'd ever want a Pepsi is beyond me!) I'd ask for "Pepsi" and if I wanted an orange coke, yeah, I'd say orange coke. But if I just want any old coke ( or soda, pop, whatever) than I'd say "Coke."
