When I was a child in Mexico the word “limonada” (lemonade) was the word used for “soda”. In Texas in Tex-Mex we call it “soda”. My wife is from Texas and she doesn’t say “dishtowel” since “cup towel” is the expression that she prefers. I looked up “cuptowel” in search engine and found thirteen references. There were 15,800 for dishtowel.
