waiter slang


Hash-house slang has intrigued me ever since I learned that a non-fat decaf cappuccino is referred to as a "why bother."  Though it has a colorful history dating back to the 1850s, usage is dying out because so are coffee shops and diners.  Maybe some of the terms were overheard by customers who then decided to cancel their order (I think I'd give it a second thought if I ordered hash and heard the waiter holler out "clean up the kitchen"!)  How many of these have you heard of? . . .

a conversation with my 12 year old self


This guy, who is 32 now, made a video of himself when he was 12 years old.  Then he made another one of him at 32 and spliced them together for a mind-boggling conversation with himself.
