Wordless Wednesday (not)


Hosted by Comedy Plus

 I am fascinated by words, names, cities,. Their meanings, origins.
I am addicted to Words with Friends, and all word puzzles.
Each Sunday, our newspaper has numerous word puzzles. The word search puzzles have a theme.
Recently it was Diner Lingo.  OMCs it is like an entirely different language.
There were no meanings so of course I asked GiGi Google for definitions of 
Diner Lingo. What amazed me were so many of the diner lingo words were 
much longer than the original word.  

For your viewing pleasure I first made a PUZZLE out of words


Here is a list of diner lingo and definitions
I ran out of space on my list so the last few are typed.

27. Wax: American Cheese
28. Whiskey: Rye Bread
29. Whiskey down: Rye toast
30. Wreck'em: Scrambled eggs.

    Mom likes her steak "on the hoof" but that's the only one we were familiar with.

    That's interesting. My GW was a waitress once (centuries ago!) but never heard most of those terms.

    What a fun list of sayings. We wonder if diner lingo is still used these days or has computerized ordering taken over.

    Mom loves all kinds of puzzles too, both word and number. She spends way too much time on Words with Friends:) We think we are going to order a Bow Wow on a bun:)

    But wouldn't it be easier for the waitress or whoever to just say the real name?? Why do they have to speak in code?? We don't get it...

    Those are great! When we order a jalepeno sausage from our local bbq place they yell, "One whole hottie" It always makes us snicker.
