in thread I refer to a non-specified carbonated beverage as a:

Hey, Mildside.

Carbonated drink with ice cream in it? In the states, those're called "floats", and they're delicious! A scoop of vanilla ice cream with cold Coca Cola or, better yet, root beer (Barq's or A&W Root Beer are best) poored on top, and you have a party.

"Spider," eh? I'll add that to my dictionary. Where do you suppose the term comes from?

From the OED: spider, n. 4. Austr. slang. A drink consisting of lemonade and brandy or similar ingredients, mixed; a soft drink with ice-cream floating in it. From the quotations following: 1859 K. CORNWALLIS New World I. 300 Shandy-gaff, or spiders -- the latter to clear their throats of flies as they said.	[reply]
