Called in sick to work today, told them I played a cold. They understood and confirmed the two words are interchangeable before firing me.

You have a cold.

You play catch.

You have a conniption.

You play fetch with your dog.

How can you have a catch?

"Want to have a catch"
"No you can keep it"

And I say both "on line" and "in line". If I'm referring to myself I say 'on' and if I'm asking someone I'll say 'in'.

Did I miss the soda, pop, and Coke argument as well? :-D

Clearly this is a dialect discussion.

"Pop" is correct if you're talking about your dad. If you're talking about carbonated beverages, the correct term is "soda."

we would also accept the term soda pop... but Coke is brand specific.

Isn't the other name is 'Cola'

I'd have a soda.

More specifically a Coke.

If I was having a pop, that means drinking has commenced. ;-D

I think it's Georgia where Coke means any carbonated beverage.

If I wanted to play catch with you, I'd just say, "Wanna throw?"

WRONG.

The correct answer is "soft drink".
