You know, I've always known that.
Are you certain?
I'd order "whiskey and water" but I'm not sure what that would get me or if there would need to be further clarification. Used to be "whiskey and branch water" was a thing, but I'm not sure (a) what that was or (b) if that terminology is still in use.

What is it? I've always wondered.
Eta: I only know it from something I read as a kid in which some guy complained about how people talked about drinks and how such fanciful descriptions ought to be taken literally, that would show them.
What is branch water? I've always assumed it was something like creek water, because I've heard of small streams being called branches. But if it is, euw. I know what happens in streams.
Well, that was an interesting cross post.
That was what complainy guy said people who ordered branch water should get - a glass of muddy creek water with leaves in it. Also, actual rocks. That sort of thing.
So it actually means still water rather than soda? Or more specifically something like Evian?
Yes, branch water is water from a stream or a branch. Back when that was the clearest, cleanest water you could get.
Yeah, they didn't live in sheep or cow country. But I'd put the taste of the spring I grew up on against just about anything. (damned mining company that destroyed the spring system)
