Had to meet some book folk for a few things. At a posh place. Waiter asked for my drink order, and instantly I asked for 'Diet water' Jacks_username from on here's diet water. Still makes me laugh 'Diet water'. It caused a bit of confusuon, diet water? Yes, water, but the diet kind!
2012, I am going to get as much shit like this in conversation.
caffeine-free water, zero-colesterol water, no-carb water, sugar-free water.
pity that it still contains all that estrogen and anti-depressants.
2012 is definitely going to be the year of messing with people - glad to see you've got a head start on it.
Diet vodka. I've ordered this before.
Freshly squeezed blood...
That awkward silence and the waiter taking longer to bring your filet mignon. I'm getting 'diet water' copyrighted.
Now is diet water a Jack-ism or was he referring to that Skinny Water drink thang I've seen floating about. Now I'm confused.
Speaking of strange orders at fancy restaurants, some friends and I went to a super nice place for my 18th birthday and for some reason one of my male friends and the waiter (who was young and had one half-white eyebrow) decided they hated each other. All evening they are taking verbal shots at each other as he waits on us, and then finally when it times come to pay, my friend asks the waiter for 'the William' (us Aussies call the check 'the bill', and Bill = short for William -- although asking for the William is totally unheard of).
Somehow, a fistfight almost ensued between them. But that's not really relevant. All I know is, from that day forward, the bill has been known as 'the William'. Whenever it comes time to ask for the bill, William is mentioned and all sorts of giggles unfailingly ensue.
I urge all Australians and Brits and other 'bill' users to try it sometime, purely to experience the awkwardness of conversation that ensues.
Hahahah I love it, the William. Definitely going to use that.
ask for the Willy and see what that gets you...
Postpomo, this is a variation I highly approve of. I'll have to try it next time I'm absurdly wasted.
Happy New Year!
