"Pop" is a generic name for all types of soft drinks, as is "soda" or even "soda pop." I generally use "pop".
"Coke" means cola, it doesn't have to be Coca-Cola. When ordering, I generally ask for diet coke, to which I sometimes get the response, "is diet Pepsi okay?" Yes, I don't care what brand of diet cola you bring me; asking for a diet coke does not specifically mean Diet Coca-Cola. If I were going to specify a brand, I would ask for a Coke Zero (which most restaurants don't carry).
