Diner Lingo?

[salsalady]

Cruising through some other threads looking for some classic comfort food inspirations, and it got me to thinking of the lingo back int he day, when phone calls had to be made by spinning a dial....of some of the classic diner lingo...
 
 
What do you know of?  Share it!
 
SOS = Sheit on a Shingle = chipped beef gravy on toast.  Chipped beef is a whole other topic worthy of much discussion and appreciation.
 
my grandpa was career Navy.  This was one dish I remember from him.  And there was something about Ham and white beans (navy beans) every Wednesday.~  John's dad was HMSRM and he ate chocolate bar sandwiches.   Yep, a chocolate bar with bread. 
 
B&G- biscuits and gravy= buttermilk biscuits and white or white sausage gravy
 
Adam and Eve on a raft= poached eggs on toast
 
Beanies and Wienies- baked beans and hot dogs  this was the Saturday daily special every saturday at the little cafe I worked at way back in the day...like the jurassic era....
 
Fry2-  short for 2 eggs, hashbrowns and toast
 
1 high
short stack
full stack
(pancake lingo~)
 
something about 'put some shoes on it' = To Go...
 
What do you remember? or still use? 
 
 
TB better be posting up a whole dictionary in here~    <3

Where i worked once wavy bits was bacon and two eggs and stiffy bits was with sausage links. "Stiffy bits over easy hash"

He wants a hockey puck & make it cry with no rabbit food on whiskey down and a small moo juice.  And put wheels on it.
 
(well done burger with onions, no lettuce {tb!} on rye toast with a small milk to go.)

 

[Edmick]

I've ordered stiffy bits before but it was at a massage parlor..

Wow TB totally failed us. Expected some trippy shit. They use 86ed at Applebees.

 

[t0mato]

The only diner lingo I know is "please pass the Texas creek chipotle BBQ right phucking now!"

 

[The Hot Pepper]

In Portland? Damn that's cool man. We don't have that here.

 

[texas blues]

Sorry.
 
That term has been around a lot longer than Applebees.

From my days waiting tables at Big Boy's....
 
Tube steak - hot dog
Wreck 'em - scrambled
Fish eyes - tapioca pudding
Sinker - doughnut

SOS - reminded me of this.  
 

 

[salsalady]

we are NOT talking about extracting leftover capsaicin from excrement!    Some know what that topic is about~~~~
 
Here's a vid that shows the classic SOS of what I remember-  The first diner I worked at made SOS occasionally as a daily special, and i also made it a few times in the cafe.

 

 

[salsalady]

TAPIOCA!  Very good!  and again, the cafe I worked at made baked custards and bread pudding from scratch. 
 
Florence Axelson made the baked goods and at the Christmas party made a killer eggnog...pretty sure it was only for 21+ but I still got some (at ~15)

 

[Gorizza]

 
my regular order is scattered smothered covered and topped. then eat it up with salsa and a healthy amount of tobasco.
 
man i miss waffle house

 

[Walchit]

Scattered? Did I miss something?

 

[Mikey V's Foods]

 
My local burger joint won't take your order unless you tell them how you want it.
 
"I'll take a Bandera , crack it, and spark it up, sittin pretty, in the stix!"

Wait. Your diner had a real life Flo? How cool is that!
 

 

[Edmick]

My dad would use all sorts of fancy lingo at the diner he took me to all the time as a kid, but more than likely he was actually making racist or sexually inappropriate comments that I didn't understand yet..

Pigs in a blanket 
 
And heck with the plain old swanson tv dinner supersize it to the Hungy Man Dinner- Mean Joe Green was the company spokesman
 
Oh and lets not forget " Hippy Food ".
