Why in the world would anyone, anywhere order "regular" coffee. What does that even mean, anyway? Why wouldn't you just order "Coffee, cream and sugar" or whatever you think "regular" means?

Because we (people in New York) know what is Right.

You think, what do you want? You think, make a decision...

Because limp-wristed pansy tree-huggin' Libruls have to make everything pee see! Can't even order coffee anymore without offending a bunch of decalf lottay olay swiggin' p*ssies. You want fancy expensive coffee, go to France with the other homosekshuls and get out of the USA! You want decalf, go back to kindergarden and cry with the other babies! God-fearing Chrischen CONSERVATIVE Republikin Hetruhsekshul COFFEE is a Constitutional RIGHT! Look it up in the Bible!

I always order "regular" coffee, and they always know what I mean.

How could the way OTHER people order their coffee possibly be annoying?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Dramamama--If you can ask that question, you've clearly never been on line at Starbucks behind a gaggle of Matinee Yentahs.

Oh I couldn't care less HOW they order....EXCEPT.....

If you order "regular" coffee the bitch for the next 4 hours because it wasn't the way you wanted it. (which turned out to be heavy cream, light sugar, light ice. Most IR-regular I think)

I'll have a tall half-caff, double shot, bone dry, skinny cappuccino with three Splenda and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Thanks!

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore.

You are SO not a New Yorker if you don't know what a "regular coffee" and a "bagel with a schmear" are!!!!

It's Depression-era New York (and, through Hollywood, nationwide) diner lingo.

But it's NOT "regular coffee"--it's "coffee regular."

"Coffee regular": coffee with cream (or milk) and sugar

"Coffee white": coffee with only cream or milk

"Coffee black": coffee without anything

"Coffee and": coffee and a doughnut

On my way to work, I stop at my neighborhood deli and order "coffee dark" which is coffee with a just a splash of milk. They already have bagels w/ schmear on the counter so I also grab one of those.

My favorite is this lady who ordered a coffee (Starbucks, natch) with like 20 adjectives. Of course she was a total bitch about watching the barista while he made it and offering "suggestions" to him.

I mean she was going so far as to demand a specific temperature.

So naturally when she tripped on the way out and spilled it all over herself the whole store (patrons) started laughing.

....but the world goes 'round

oops when I said I always order "regular" I meant in restaurants, when I don't want decaf, I say regular.

According to Travolta in Look Who's Talking, "without anything in it, it's black coffee." "Then, there's coffee regular. That means two sugars and milk." I just say, "coffee with cream and sugar."

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I just make my own coffee so I don't have to think of what to call it.
