continental breakfast

Generally provided by cheap British hotels so that they don't need to serve you a PROPER breakfast.

A Continental Breakfast usually consists of some cheap freeze-dried coffee, some sort of stale pastry and perhaps an old, soft biscuit if you're fortunate enough.

The name comes from the fact that Hoteliers wish you to believe that our "more culturaly refined" and "chic" Continental (note, European) cousins, eat this crap for breakfast themselves, and by eating it you can be JUST as cultured!

Predictably, if you ever happen to stay at a hotel on "The Continent", the chances of them serving you this rubbish are somewhere between silm and none.
"For a mere £5 extra, you will be provided with a delicious, exciting and culturaly stimulating Continental Breakfast!"

continental european

A description attributed to old white people who hail from the European continent, often recognised by their inability to add salt (referred to in their vernacular as 'spice') and refusal to wash hands before eating, and after scratching their arse. Not to be confused with the Continental European breakfasts served at American hotel chains like the Hilton.
