    Shredded wheat does make more sense than salad for “baled hay” (since it tastes like ACTUAL baled hay)

    Poor Slim. Just for today use plain English, and help him out.

    I still wonder how much of the food’s gonna get to the customers.

    OK…shredded wheat makes more sense than hashbrowns for baled hay…What they need to do is have a list of the slang and what it actually is, so Slim might have a prayer of making it! (btw SOS is actually really good, if it’s made right!;) )

    I think we’ve gotten good translations for everything but one: I still don’t understand “a cup of naked”. I could believe it’s black coffee, but why “naked”?

    G6793: See my post yesterday on S.O.S. Yummy when done right, awful otherwise. Like much in life.

    A cup of naked is just plain black coffee, no cream or sugar. At least, this is what I’ve heard.

    That’s why it’s “naked.” It doesn’t come adorned with cream or sugar.

    Because the wait people get better tips if they’re entertaining.
