Just to throw it out there, 86 is also used in the film industry (at least in LA) meaning to cancel or get rid of something. It's very widely used across the industry. I don't know of any other slang that is shared between restaurants and film though.
"Cut!"
I don't really care for what, if you are requesting something from someone you don't know in a way that's intentionally stupid or roundabout, you need to be prepared to get exactly what you asked for.
Fast food doubly so, they give no shits. Ask for a burger but hold the burger? Expect an empty wrapper.
Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
tell me about it! i ordered a cherry π and received three and some bits of cherries instead!
that's totes the fault of the guy who can't understand what i mean when i'm trying to be esoteric!
I'm a bit of an OCD logic nerd. When I eat something, I need to immediately gulp down another 7 otherwise I could never have ate them.
Hey man, I'm sorry... If they handed you a measurable quantity of cherries then you didn't get what you asked for.
Nah they just handed them 3&1/7 cherries. It’s a reasonable approximation
Yeah, that's on the customer. If you write that you want a bunch of fuckin cherries then you're getting a bunch of fuckin cherries. Now go eat the pile of cherries you ordered.
We probably would've dragged it at the bar I work at and not serve cherries for the rest of the night lol
Never heard of it so I had to look
https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/eighty-six-meaning-origin
Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.
I heard/read years ago "86ing" came from the old west referring to killing somebody. You'd take them "80 miles out" and bury them "6 feet deep."
