Rehashing from about 10 years ago, but it’s really called “coke” – and then if you want to know if it’s diet or lemon lime or some other variety, you ask “do you wanna a coke? what kind?”
As a mid-Atlantic transplant to the Pac NW-pop-land, I have to explain this all the time. 😉

What Tricia said. All non-alcoholic carbonated beverages are “cokes”.
However, I always thought it was a Deep South (US) thing, I didn’t know they also used that terminology in the mid-Atlantic states.
