Why wouldn't you order a soft drink in a bar? Bar lists include coke, etc., under the heading 'Soft Drinks'. Why wouldn't you put a soft drink on your husband's shopping list (he would come back with coke, lemonade, etc., assuming this husband is British)? As for the British policeman......he would understand perfectly well what you meant. I don't want to sound argumentative here, but I don't see what the problem is. The term is used in supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, adverts - all over the place. I think we have all used the term fizzy drinks at some point too. |
