Thanks!
It’s the non-standard terminology that makes Starbuck’s an ordeal for some of us, so your decoder ring is much appreciated!

There is no downside.

This might blow someone’s mind, but there are sweet meat pies too.
Prune-and-pork pie, or chutney and meat pies can be really nice.

What’s this “cottage pie”? It has no cottage in it, and if it were made in a cottage, I’d expect game meat.  Call it a cowboy pie if it has cow.

Steak and kidney pie should be right up the American palate, where acidity is the norm. But some frown on the idea of kidneys.

What do I say at Starbuck’s to make them make me a café au lait and not a caffè latte?

Soft boiled > hard boiled

I’ve seen people do eggs over easy with a pan flip. I suspect that it took a lot of practice before that became easy.

I mean, I can hold a pencil and type.

Celebrate with a lazy day of beer, pizza and TV!

According to a friend, Pikmin means “prick of mine” in Danish.

What is wrong with bourbon?

I don’t believe that mixing alcohols makes you more likely to have a hangover, or a worse hangover, but I do believe personally that certain types of alcohol make me have worse hangover symptoms than others.

Given the cheap IKEA furniture, it probably isn’t real champagne either, which explains why it wasn’t imbibed.

Also, those pants are impossibly skinny.

Just be careful what you ask for. You may get a generic zipper that doesn’t mach the original. If you take a pair of vintage jeans in and they replace the brass zipper with a Made in Youknowwhere plated crapmetal zipper, you have just lost several hundred dollars and risk inadvertently exposing yourself.
Or they might…

It won’t happen if you always button and zipper up your jeans before washing them.

As those of us going commando knows, buy Levi’s 501s.

The by far most common problem I have with zippers is hair getting stuck in them. How do I prevent that?
