Yeah. Since I'm from Ohio, you can probably guess what
I call the stuff. Though, to be honest, I usually refer
to a specific type ("root beer", "cola", or cetera), or
if I'm including various types of things to drink there
are almost certainly some included that are not
carbonated (water, Kool-Aid, milk, ..., so I just call
them "beverages".
Oh, a fun thing to do: next time somebody asks you
what you want to drink (especially if it's somebody
taking your order at a restaurant), matter-of-factly
ask for "room-temperature tapwater", and watch the
reaction. You get some weird looks. I didn't think
anything about it (I drink quarts of the stuff a day)
until I saw how someone else reacted. Apparently,
it's not high on everyone's list of things to drink.
So if I don't want to elicit a reaction I just order
the root beer.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
