The term “coke” is a common synecdoche for all carbonated drinks.

Examples: Crown - in place of a royal person The White House - in place of the President or others who work there The suits - in place of business people Dish - for an entire plate of food

asyndeton Asyndeton is derived from the Greek word asyndeton, which means “unconnected.” It is a stylistic device used in literature and poetry to intentionally eliminate conjunctions between the phrases, and in the sentence, yet maintain grammatical accuracy. Examples: "...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth." - Abraham Lincoln “They came, they saw, they conquered.”
