✨ Inspiration: Diner Lingo

✨ Inspiration: Diner Lingo

21 Mar

 

Did you know that American diners have their own kind of language?

 

Diner Lingo is a kind of American slang used by cooks and waitstaff.  The phrases vary regionally but it’s still pretty fun.  Here are some of our favorites:

 

  • Rabbit Food = Lettuce
  • Adam and Eve on a Raft = 2 poached eggs on toast
  • Nervous Pudding = Jello
  • Bow Wow = Hot dog
  • Life Preserver = Doughnut
  • Put Wheels on It = Make an order to-go
  • Looseners = Prunes

 

I don’t know about you, but some of those sound like pretty good drag names to me.

 

Some of these names inspired our New Collection.  Order now and put wheels on it!
