Ye Olde
A pseudo- Old English word meant to connect a restaurant or shop to the medieval period. It is actually meant to be pronounced "The old", but most people say "Yee old". The 'y' used to be the old English letter 'thorn' (þ), which represents a 'th' sound.

B: It was literally established last year. Also, you're pronouncing it wrong.
