June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

[ponderingmeerkat]

Totally unrelated to pretzel, it just reminded me of a discussion we had in the lounge a while back.

How do you guys react when people use Latin or other foreign language terms in every day speech?

I have this problem every time I order a croissant in the states. Do I say it correctly and come off like a douche or do I say it like I'm from texas (kraw-sant) and come off like a redneck.

Or maybe, try to have ass it and mix the two together (kroy-sahnt)???

So uncomfortable.

kwa-sahn is TCR for maximum douchery, with the n heavily nasalized.

Seems right...so...half assed correct? What's preferable (kwa-sant) or (croy-sahn)? This really eats me up.

Haha whenever I order one I typically mumble everything except the K sound and the S sound specifically to avoid this dilemma. "Could I have a chocolate k-sa...?"

I always do the point and order:

"I'll have one of those"

"These?" *points to the moist blueberry muffins

"No, those!"

"Ohhhh...the kraw-sannnts?! Why didn't you say so? Teehee."

Okay, I just spoke with Dave Killoran. He is predicting Monday and his team has this reasoning behind their predictions:

I'm going to predict Saturday, based on almost nothing.

And test takers were up versus last June, FYI.

Good luck all!

How do you guys react when people use Latin or other foreign language terms in every day speech?

Well I like when people throw Latin around because it alerts me to the fact that they are probably dickholes and probably went to prep school

(I mean, some Latin is chill and some is not)

Just depends on the person and how obnoxious they are/aren't

my bon vivant lifestyle

got it

Romantic literally means derived from Latin.

I mean, what's yer point? I said using Latin makes you sound like a dickhole. Not French.

Further, I approve of incorporating foreign words when there is no suitable English equivalent, and I think that's the case with bon vivant. And a lot of other French-isms, too.

IDK what you mean by that

Bon Vivant, noun, a person who enjoys a sociable and luxurious lifestyle.

Socialite, noun, a person who is well known in fashionable society and is fond of social activities and entertainment.

Suitable English equivalent found.

Perhaps there is a suitable french word.

"Socialite" completely misses the meaning I have in mind, which is along the lines of:

"a person who enjoys the good things in life, especially good food and drink"

my bon vivant lifestyle makes you sound like a dickhole. Not French. no suitable English equivalent.

Again, does not carry the same connotation as bon vivant.

Well of course the word Romantic isn't derived from Latin, considering it describes an event that would necessarily have to have occured after the decline of Latin.
