[QUOTE="The Liturgist, post: 76581091, member: 424341"] What’s fascinating looking at the dialogue map, by the way, is the anomalous region of intense disuse of the term pop radiating outward from St. Louis. Considering the former TWA hub (how many people remember that?) is home to Annheuser-Busch, or rather was before their acquisition by Inbev, and has a majestic main brewery that is enough to earn the respect even of a diehard Belgian Trappist purist like myself (for whom the thought of drinking anything not at least somewhat associated with a Belgian monastery fills me with horror). With their disproportionate influence on beverages, and considering that pilsners like Budweiser, if memory serves, require forced carbonation because the Pasteurization which separates them from a traditional lager prevents the kind of ongoing fermentation one sees with, for example, traditional Belgian ales, I would imagine they somehow dictated the terminology, but this is just a guess.
