Posted by Russ in Not knowing a diner lingo definitely won’t put you on a tough spot (hopefully), but knowing them is better anyway. Afterall, who doesn’t like to be a “know it all?” Diners have their own language for some menu items, it’s sort of like jazzing up the food a bit with a cool sounding name. Some have been passed along by our forefathers and some recently invented. Whether you are heading to a diner to hang out with your friends or entertaining a client, using one of these cool diner lingo may not help you land a job, but will definitely make you sound cool.

Well that’s all I can think of at the moment. There are hundreds out there and I am pretty sure you know quite a few. Please take a moment and share some with us. Diner lingo has been around for years and it should certainly be something passed from generation to generation. If nothing comes out of it, we can at least sound “cooler” than the one sitting next to us.
