  • That word may be ordinary in Spanish, but something tells me (the complete lack of other Spanish words, as well as the context) that in this case it was meant in the “archaic” form.

    Also idk if it’s “archaic at worst,” “at worst” it is still a slur in many contexts. Like, you can talk about The Negro League in historical context referring to baseball and be completely fine, but you absolutely cannot go up to someone and say “What up my Ne–o” (gonna bleep that one, but leave enough context so you can tell it’s not intended to be the other one.) “You are an ignorant stupid ne–o” seems to fit squarely in the context of slur to me and imo its use here is in bad taste at best and frankly I think it is racist.

    Not that I disagree with hating trump, I just think hating trump so hard you become racist isn’t really a good solution to the problem, and the church could probably rework that sign.

    Also don’t ask women out at the gym, at work, in a store, on the street, or any hobby where they just want to enjoy themselves and not have to be asked out politely or otherwise.

    The only acceptable places according to women are on the apps and in bars, or church supposedly if you’re one of those.

    I don’t do the privacy violating apps, I don’t drink much anymore, and both of those are more “hook up” culture while I want like “an actual relationship,” and church just isn’t for me. Like, I could go hang out but I’m not going to believe in your gods, and that is a point of contention with the faithful.




  • You’re right, that would have been the “correct” way, with the “the.” When spoken it’s almost always said, or in the past tense like “cherries are 86’d.”

    Of course, “no cherry” is leagues superior when you’re the customer, I mean really. He was just asking for a high ass employee who fully knew to just do it because they think it’s absolutely hilarious (and that would have been the right move lol.)

    The other commenter is also right, the whiteboards in the kitchen always leave out the “the,” but that is a shorthand on a shorthand. They also probably write like “86 B.O” for “We are currently out of black olives,” and you don’t want to know how they abbreviate Jalapeños. The whiteboard is not a reliable source in that respect, it’s almost code, or like a Chef’s Cant.




  • Well,

    A) logically someone has done the most X in Y so long as one person did X one time there. Like, not only would there also be someone in the US who drank the most tea, there’s also someone in the UK who shit the most this year too, and the US would have their own most-shitter, and then the most-shitter in the entire world may be one of those two guys, or they may be the most-shitter from China or even Luxembourg. Same for “playing volleyball” or “stubbing your toe,” ad nauseum.

    B) In the US the real question isn’t sugar but HFCS, we barely have real sugar here unfortunately due to a revenue generating scheme dating back to like the 50s or some shit.
