Soda? Cola? Pop? What do you say? Any other regional words that set you apart?
Question submitted by Gladys.

I say "Soda" as befits someone who's lived in big city metropolitan areas. My grand-father said pop, but then he lived in Madison, WI. I use the word "giznank" a lot which is a very regional expresson, though. I've also been known to describe good things as "frampton" and sometimes even "fetch."

What's your favorite drink or cocktail? What's in it
Question submitted by charm.vox.com

My dad makes a cocktail called the "Trader Bob" which is basically three fingers of gin, a healthy dose of graprefruit juice and then tonic water until the 20 ounce glass is full. It's basically the sixty year old economist equivalent of what Snoop Dogg refers to as "gin and juice." (Other interesting similarities between my dad and Snoop Dogg: their first names are both Cordozar, and they were both founding members of Tha Dogg Pound.) He used to drink one every night until he got gout, now he rations himself one to only special occasions.
