I work at a coffee shop and have gotten all my co-workers to start calling lattes “hot milkybois”
I also got everyone to refer to the salted caramel blended drink as “the big salty” and I consider it one of my greatest accomplishments
Oh yeah and any time someone orders a hazelnut latte with almond milk (which specifically is a weirdly popular drink) I say “one HOT NUT latte coming right up!”
My coworkers have not latched on to this one like they did with the others for some reason.
I forgot to mention I also pronounce “hot chocolate” like “hot cocklate”… because I’m awful.
please give us updates
Our largest drink size is affectionately referred to as “Texas Size” so sometimes when I hand it out in the drive-thru I like to say, “Here’s that TEXAS SIZE [drink] for ya, YEEEEHAW!”
And some people look at me as though I have just made their entire day while others look like they they could not possibly get away from me soon enough. Both reactions are equally satisfying.
I made this into a game except when I hand out the Texas-size drinks I say “Can I get a YEEHAW?” And the guests always look mortified but occasionally one of them will let out a terrified “yeehaw” and all my coworkers cheer and then we keep a running tally of how many yeehaws we each get on the back of a pastry bag.
i just saw a headcanon saying alternian starships are grown, not built and all that evangelion i watched is comign back to haunt me like
fuck dude
the battleship condescension gets hit with an energy harpoon in the middle of a battle and where you expect to see explosions you get a jet of bright hot pink ‘hydraulic fluid’
crack open the armour plating and the fleet isn’t a fleet at all; it’s an army of biologically engineered abominations grown from the genes of fuckin gl’bgolyb’s hideous writhing ass
decided to finally try out drawing a diagram, using the battleship condescension for example
the three decks are pretty self-explanatory; the command deck is basically equivalent to the bridge, the hive deck contains the quarters for everyone working on the starship, and the palace is where the condesce sits, hoards her gold, holds audience with visitors, and fucks around with slaves
the bottom most level is where the magic happens; the GORG hull, or G’bgolyb Organism hull, is where the specially-grown G’bgolyb Organism is contained within red cybernetic containment plates. the psionic core is a psychic organ – essentially the brain of the GORG, where the helmsman psychically taps into the flesh of the beast and flies the ship, mainly through the use of the GORG’s flight organ.
the GORG’s flesh is also riddled with various boreholes, not pictured, of both the dry and submerged nature, which mechanics and GORG specialists use to navigate, alter and fix the GORG’s structure and organs when required.
The eye contact thing makes me a little twitchy cuz that’s the kind of thing they do with autistic kids and CBT. But it sounds like the kid was having fun and not feeling stifled or anything, so it’s a darn cute story.
Well, if it helps you feel less twitchy, a) his mom was smiling the whole time she seemed to think it as hilarious as we did, not like frustrated b) he was talking to us about his many skills, but also looking at his mom for reassurance the the majority of the time he was bragging.
today I was at the grocery store with my mom and while we were putting stuff on the belt, and I’m idly commenting about wishing we had a cheapo scale to mass stuff on for whenever I make candied ginger (like today) so i’m not guesstimating the sugar-
and then this maybe 5 year old comes over and starts bragging about how he knows how to load stuff into bags and carts and starts explaining about heavy stuff on the bottom and me and mom keep glancing at each other because omg is this real this is hilarious and adorable
and his mom cuts in to tell her kid to make sure you use eye contact when you talk to people (not hey don’t talk to strangers, or hey don’t interrupt people while they’re talking) and then after he’s done explaining to us how you’re supposed to load stuff he just kinda looks at us expectantly.
and I’m unprepared for a surprise conversation and I have no idea what to say, so I just kinda smile, and tell him that I’m very happy he knows that stuff and it’s a valuable skill that’ll serve him well in his life. he didn’t quite seem to know what to do with that, so he walked back to his mom.
me and my mom start quietly dying of laughter, and she says to me, you know he was probably asking to help, right. listen, I panicked, and also didn’t want help, we have a System.
