starbucks stutter

The phenomenon that happens to folks, usually born prior to 1950, at Starbucks when they suddenly freeze and have no idea what to say or do when the barista asks them for their order when trying to order a plain old cup of coffee.

Usually followed by growns and exchanged glances among the snotty Starbucks whores in line behind them.

Can also be associated with the shock of paying more than $.25 for a cup of coffee.

Jesse: "Dude! Did you see that geezer get the Starbucks Stutter when he couldn't even order his joe?"

Sam: "Yeah! That was some serious java stage fright!"

Starbucks Stutter

The phenomenon that affects folks (usually those who were born prior to 1950) at Starbucks, when they suddenly freeze and have no idea what to say or do when the barista asks them for their order when trying to buy a plain old cup of coffee.

Usually followed by groans and exchanged glances among the snotty cardigan-wearing yuppies and corporate scumbags in three-piece suits waiting in line behind them.

Can also be associated with the shock of paying more than $0.50 for a cup of coffee.

Customer 1: "Dude! Did you see that geezer get the Starbucks Stutter when he couldn't even order his joe?"

Customer 2: "Yeah! That was some serious java stage fright!"

girl grip

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
