As in...

Question: I'm fixin' to go inside and get me a coke. Would y'all like one?
Person 1: Yes please. I'll have a coke-cola if you have one.
Person 2: Y'all got any RC?

I think the prefered spelling is Co'Cola.

Which has been extensively discussed, including discussion on exactly what Chik-Fil-A did and didn't contribute to and its current practices (which do not involve donations to those groups), in a thread on that subject. I vote we not derail this thread with that political discussion.

1. Yes

2. For the love of baby Elvis, please yes. If y'all want to discuss the politics of CFA, please take it to that other thread. This one is fun and enjoyable; let's don't ruin it. FWIW, I'm saying that as a pro-gay rights, politically liberal leaning person.

That reads better. Very much pronounced more like your spelling.

I was trying to figure out how to spell it phonically but wasn't thinking it out. What I am use to hearing is kind of a short “c" sound that serves as a kind of “bridge” between the “co” and the “ola”. Almost like "Co'c'ola" - but I'm not sure that would be correct way to write it out phonically either.

Frankly, unless it was in literature where the author was trying to invoke the local dialect, I am not sure I have ever seen “coca-cola” spelled any other way then the correct (full) way.

Now I'm parched for a cherry co’cola.
