Coffee bitch. Not to be confused with a barrister.

Idiot: "I work as a barista".
Me (winding up idiot): "So you are a lawyer who works in the High Court?"
Idiot (confused): "Ehhh no I make coffee in Starbucks."
Me (sniggering): "Ahhh, you mean you are a coffee bitch."

barista

A booty-whore who studies college textbooks and gossips on MySpace when not serving Johns

That barista charged me four dollars for little more than a medium cup of pulverized ice mixed with some powdered flavoring, in addition to a nice shot of her ass whilst bending over to retrieve some whipped cream from the under-counter fridge. She's just an apron-wearing whore
