Katrina
Yet another code-word used by food servers(mostly in the south)to describe any black person in their section who appears to come from a ghetto backround. The flood of evacuees from Louisiana to Texas amongst other places gave birth to this one. Food servers profile quite a bit. Its, unfortunately, just a matter of putting together patterns of who tips horribly. Such as Katrinas. These stereotypes live up to expectations way too often.
"Goddamnit, the hostess just sat a ten-top of Katrinas in my section. Looks like I'll be working for free the next hour."
