Growing up in Newburyport, Mass. (says my wife), milkshakes were simply
shaken milk and syrup.  Only frappes had ice cream in them.  Soda was
soda-water, tonic was fizzy beverages (e.g., Coca-Cola (tm, no doubt),
and tonic water was called "quinine".  She has no idea what "quinine"
became when mixed with heathen liquor.
