Taco, apparently.

in 10 years I’ll be complaining about pepperonis being abbreviated to nis on my za menu

I talk to my puppy that way. And now I’m ashamed of myself.

Her pet food brand is “Nutrish”. Every time I see it I want to tell her to use her grown-up words.

Nope, that’s completely rational.

A great point and insulting for her to constantly chefsplain; it isn’t that hard to figure out. Anne Burrell’s first show I remember she used to say BTB, RTS and once she said it a couple of times, I think she had enough faith in her flock or fans or whatever, she used the abbreviations only.

I erupt into irrational rage every time I see my local Wendy’s sign for “Spicy Nuggs.”

There is an award winning brewery near me called “Slice Brewing”. It is co-owned by the brewer and the owner of the pizza parlor next door (called Old Town Pizza). For fun some of their first labels resembled Slice soda. Anyways, you can go to Old Town Pizza and get a “Slice and a Slice”.

The only ones I ever use are ones I feel are commonly accepted (and a few have been mentioned in the comments already): guac, veggies, mayo, brats.

Just started reading the linked article about the Fake Restaurant.

Are any of us really too busy to say “Caesar salad” in its entirety? If so, what are we so busy doing?

Half a breath mint?

I think less of anyone who refers to pizza as ‘za.  

All of this abbreviation stuff is annoying as heck to me. My biggest peeve with it though was with Rachel Ray on her various cooking shows. She’d refer to adding EVOO to something, then proceed to tell us what EVOO meant. Every. Frickin’. Time. I mean, if you’re going to do that, just call it extra virgin olive oil in…

These abbreviations are bad and people who use them deserve a miserable life..

1. As a general rule, don’t.

The only one I use is veg or veggie. I’ve never heard any of the others. I particularly don’t like sammie for sandwich.

I generally hate it. Sure, “cuke” for cucumber or “ravs” for raviolis, those are practical, but going out of one’s way to make up abbreviations like “tacs” is twee as hell. Also, Rachael Ray, there’s no point in using an acronym like EVOO if you then say the whole thing every single time.

Makes me feel like I’m a toddler.

If you give me something you call “shrooms” and I don’t hallucinate for 6 hours, you’re just a fucking liar.
