Congrats on digging up that thread where this was discussed a few weeks ago.

I bet they do, Stuart Smalley. I bet they do.

I drink my scotch straight. No "cocktails" for this guy:

cock·tail
1 /ˈkɒkˌteɪl/ Show IPA
noun
1. any of various short mixed drinks, consisting typically of gin, whiskey, rum, vodka, or brandy, with different admixtures, as vermouth, fruit juices, or flavorings, usually chilled and frequently sweetened.

Eh, they're both technically two words. Same number of syllables.

When you order a mixed drink, or even a beer, at a bar they serve it with a cocktail napkin. I'm cool with the terms drinks or mixed drinks, but we still have to keep the term 'cocktail napkin'. Mixed drink napkin or beer napkin sounds funny.

I agree, but "bev-nap" is what we called them when I waited tables.

You insiders always have your own code words. What did you call the guy who orders a drink and says "may I please have a cocktail napkin my dear man"

Nothing. Just a dude that wanted a bevnap.

I like the term "serving wenches"
