Jack and Diet

What are you saying to the world when you order a Jack and Diet Coke? It's a contradiction in a cup. Still, I will sometimes drink them, with an admittedly self-deceived eye towards, of all things, health. Taking this dumbness into account, along with the fact that, while it's no apple martini, it's a "girly" drink, here are two possible slang names:

Jack and Diane

Princess Jack (Diet --> Di --> Princess)
(and here I don't mean "princess" in the titular sense, i.e. that Jack himself is a princess, but rather in the adjectival sense, that this is the princess version of Jack, in the way that dungeness crab is a version of crab.)

Doesn't adding the diet version to alcohol speed intoxication?

Yes, apparently it does. I am not surprised to find another level of dumbness to the Jack and Diane.
