fine dining establishment

An overpriced restaurant with polyester tablecloths.

Actual "fine dining" restaurants rarely, if ever, call attention to themselves as such, just as a gentleman does not, by definition, call himself a gentleman.

Give-aways: excess text on the menu (see examples below), capitals on all restaurant-related terms, inflated prices, "house brands" of bottled water and similar, faux-luxe decor, cheap silverware, poor-quality ingredients in fussy recipe, abuse of any of the following: "oven-roasted" (never simply roasted), "sun-dried" (never simply dried), "French," "infused," &c, pretensions to internationalism despite solid Americanisms, like calling blue cheese or fromage bleu "bleu cheese."

Hallmarks of the service include having too many things done with you without your asking for them, such as removing the lid from ketchup bottles. They are normally pretentious, fussy, and ignorant about the food.

On the menu where "spaghetti" should be:

A delightlful Medley of oven-roasted vegetables in a basil-infused tomato reduction Sauce, topping hand-crafted Durum Wheat pasta cooked to Perfection. Offered with Premium parmesan, hand-grated by your Server. $29.95

dunking the cosmic donut

A sexual position referenced in by Wendy the Android in the TV show Dark Matter. It is likely a move that relies on the contortion ability of a sex android, whereby the android would backbend into a complete circle while allowing the partner to insert themselves as they are standing or laying intercepted to the formed circle.

Hi Wendy, I would like to try dunking the cosmic donut when you aren't preparing meals on the ship.

dining at the y

a euphemism for performing oral sex, usually cunnilingus. The allusion is to both eating out and to shape of receiver's body and spread legs forming the shape of the letter Y. Sometimes abbreviated as DATY.

Of the things I like to do with a woman in bed, dining at the y is one of my favorites.

defensive dining

Ordering expensive items off the menu when you know the check is going to be split evenly between everyone.

Defensive dining insures that the amount you owe at the end of the meal will be the same or less than what you ordered.

Jim: John, if you are going out with the Bill and the Marketing team for dinner tonight you need to use defensive dining when ordering. The last time I went with those guys they ordered the most expensive things on the menu and I got stuck paying $10 more than what I ordered.

dining on a bullet

A fun an interesting way of saying "to commit suicide by use of a firearm."

Can also be phrased "dining on the bullet"

Let me explain what happens to these stars and their big brains
First they get played like all damn day
Long as you sell everything will be ok
Then you get dissed by the media and fans
Things never stay the same way they began
I heard that some never get fooled to the fullest
That's why fools end up DINING ON A BULLET

sage dining

A foodservice company that comes in with a great food for the first year getting a school to sign a long term contract and saving the school some money. After that they become a lunch line with chicken only.

Whats for lunch?
Nothing good its sage dining they never have anything good.
