alright well i'll admit that that is a more reputable source but that doesn't neccessarily prove that it's true i wouldn't be so doubtful of this idea if i had ever heard even a single instance of this use have you ever actually heard anyone use the word coke in this instance i'm sorry to be so persistent about this but i just don't understand how this can be an established fact about the common use of a word in the south when i actually live in the south and have never heard of it by the original poster of topic
