Chappelli - I'm calling you out.

Yes. Love some animal puns in the morning, they make my day bearable.

I got it.

I was at a conference yesterday with a bunch of (supposedly) smart people, and the second presenter was introduced with a very loud “and without further adieu…”. *Cue quiet giggles from me after only just reading this thread on the train.

A coffee related one that shits me is people asking for ‘a latte’ and expecting more than just a glass of milk. Also, a flat white and a cafe latte are the same f-ing thing in a takeaway cup. So don’t get the shits when your ‘latte’ says ‘FW’ on the side.

I also get the shits with people who use “yeah… crazy like a fox” for actual crazy people.

^ Thank god, I was wondering…

@Blakey

So many amazing animalised sayings.

Loving this thread direction.

We’ve really stirred up a hornets’ nest here. Chappelli is a damp squid

Maybe it’s a pigment of my imagination, but there’s probably a hare’s breath in it. I’m happy to kick back and live of the fat of the lamb until such time that I give up the goat. Just remember that a rolling stone gathers no moths

… I’ll get my goat

Don’t worry, it didn’t fly over my head.

That’s really clutching at straws to break a camel’s back.

Why didn’t you bold hornet’s? or goat? Without consistency jokes are useless, although perhaps I am being too dogmatic.

Perhaps you should take your dogma for a walk?

@Trigger

It’s not incorrect, but I am so sick of hearing “moving forward”. What the fuck does that actually mean? It’s empty corporate/public service crap.

I also can’t stand people saying “in agreeance”. It’s agreement, dicks.

Having said all of that I am not great with spelling and grammar.

I agree but I think now that ‘agreeance’ is in most dictionaries.
I hate the word ‘actually’ and how often it is used.

i’m gonna call bullshit on that one. we’re not in italy and it’s an accepted colloquialism.

*also, it’s spelled caffe latte

Agree that latte is an accepted shortened name here. Same as you don’t go to the coffee shop and order a ‘cap’ and expect something to put on your head.

… and I think the difference between a latte and flat white is the extra froth on the latte (but I’m sure a barista can help us out on that one)

i think it’s more to do with the vessel the coffee is put in. latte in a glass, flat white in a ceramic cup. therefore in a takeaway cup there is fuck all difference. i would agree that a latte has slightly more froth though.

but then again, i ain’t no barista either

Differences are: -

1. Latte = Glass, Flat White = Cup
2. Flat White has froth held back with a spoon when poured; Latte has it all
3. Flat White is stronger (more coffee) than a latte

Some people have different ideas, but this is what I was shown when trained at Jasper Coffee HQ

[P_N20]

^ Coffee Ben told me that the only difference between a Caffe Latte and a Flat White is the vessel. I wasn’t gonna argue, the kid looks tough.

[JimmyJ]

that’s what i thought.

i always ask for a fw…makes me feel like a builder.

[Trigger]

I have always been under the impression that a flat white has less foam, and that’s why I order flat whites, because I don’t want the foam.

@ P!N20: I don’t argue with coffee either, it’s not worth it. Plus I’ve heard he has magical powers and can put a curse on you, a curse so strong that you could spend the rest of your days having crap coffee.

tea just shot out of my nose…

and please - animals puns are one step behind 650b wheels for getting blakey all hot under the collar, and we need him to focus on his admin duties.

i work beside a russian - what he can do to the english language needs to be heard to be believed. some days i make up expressions just to hear him say them…
