There’re actually a lot of really funny comments in the collected “other terms” data. WRT tonic, I think it’s both a generational thing and a geographic thing. I think you can still hear it in some really insular urban (read “Irish”) spots in Boston. But I’m a suburban kid - I’ve never found much to motivate me to cross the Charles - and both my parents are New Yorkers (I’m a mutt - English, Scottish, Irish).

I dunno, it looks like the liberal coasts say “soda,” and conservatives say something else. Wonder what some exmaples of “other” are?
Never mind - found it.
Come on man — you live in (what used to be, anyways) the strongholds of one of the “other” — TAWNic.
I point out w/o comment that

And, no, it wasn’t me.
