i say dinner is a special occasion or something fancy like going out to dinner or thanksgiving dinner and supper is just regular old eating. my roommate thinks supper is a white trash word and that it's always dinner. what sayeth you, rttp folks? breakfast, lunch, and supper just makes more sense to me. i don't eat with white gloves on.

I say dinner but grew up with supper.

It's dinner not supper.

Also, just to clarify:

It's SODA, not pop, coke, or tonic.

I fucking HAAAATE when people say tonic.

I would be 100% willing to fight someone over it.

Anywho supper is by definition a small meal eaten after dinner/before bed.

what if it is actually coke that the person is drinking? is it still not coke?

Niccolai said:

my roommate looked on wikipedia too

#3 Time to eat

Niccolai said:

tonic sounds funny. usually only old people say it, but i've heard my girlfriend say it and then i laughed about it.

If the person is actually drinking coke, it's fine.

But where I lived in Florida, waitresses with 3 teeth would come up and ask you 'what kinda coke d'yall want?'

and instead of asking if you want mayonaise on something, they will ask how much mayonaise you want.

because anywhere below connecticut and east of california, mayonaise is a white trash trailerpark staple crop.

ARRRRRR.

dreadkill said:

'supper' is on wikipedia? pretty soon wikipedia will have every piece of knowledge in the world.

Instead of consulting a book, St. Peter will look us up on wikipedia and judge us accordingly.

Live tonic or die.

Niccolai said:

mayo is so gross. i get nauseous just thinking about it.

dinner. PERIOD.

tonic is gay, this old lady said rubbish in reference to trash today. FUCK HER.

growing up in boston it was always suppah and tonic. it seems tonic has died out though.

ill take both please

Archaeon is right.

I almost forgot.

TRASH, NOT RUBBISH!!!!!!!!

Garbage is also acceptable, and can be used to describe people who say 'rubbish'.

i like to say rubbish. i like the sound of it. i call trash cans rubbish barrels.

rubbish, suppah, tonic, dungarees = acceptable in everyday conversations
fuck you all

and i dont know what you put on your ice cream. but i put jimmies on mine

i agree with jesus

jesus said:

anyone who calls it sprinkles likes jizz on their ice cream too. jimmies all the way, or jameses.

dreadkill said:

The way I've always understood it was that sprinkles were rainbow colored and jimmies were just chocolate. This is how it was when i scooped ice cream, too; people would say sprinkles or jimmies and I would ask "rainbow sprinkles or chocolate jimmies?"

dreadkill said:

when a friend of mine asked for jimmies in california she was accused to being racist and almost refused her ice cream.

i figured since people called tv remotes clickers, that i would get away with calling an old school pager a vibrator, I was wrong.

clicker, blammer, ZAPPER = 617 acceptable

my dad calls a remote a selector. i lugh all the time when he says that.

i always call it the changer, fucking parents.

it'll always be a zapper

i just call it the remote

a lot of people say clicker

it's called the fucking remote.

REMOTE OR GTFO.


and as far as icecream toppings are concerned, I'm with ZJD. I've always known the rainbow colored ones to be sprinkles, and the brown to be jimmies.

I don't care though ebcause both are disgusting on icecream.

Clicker....only fags say clicker, it's a fucking remote.

yeah dinner is definitely something important like a holiday. supper is the every day meal.

To sum up:

Dinner, please. Supper goes along with second breakfast and elevensies in the "fruity hobbit-speak" folder.

Tonic is hilarious when my corny midwestern Minnesotan cousins say it, otherwise fuck you.

Saying rubbish is grounds for execution.

Jimmies or die.

Trousers? Nigga, PLEASE.

Clicker is perfectly acceptable if you're in 1987. Otherwise, GTFO.


And I'd really like a nice cold cabinet, right about now.

Yeti said:

thank you! someone knows what i'm talking about.

Hahaha, this thread is a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be.

On the Jimmies vs. Sprinkles case of 2007, sprinkles are not the same things as jimmies, or at least are not supposed to be. Sprinkles look like they are just larger crystals of sugar, usually dyed. Jimmies are the longer, mini-banana or worm-shaped things, I guess you could say; whether they are rainbow or chocolate, they are both Jimmies.

And I don't eat dinner or supper. I eat dupper.

Anyone who calls pizza "pie" is from Ohio and should be shot.

I never like it when people say 'za. It's not a fucking hard word to say, how about you go the distance and use both syllables?

people calling it 'za really pisses me off.

also, the way people from other places make fun of boston people for leaving out Rs but they leave out the first R in hamburger. hamburgah is more accurate than hambooger.

i don't know about you guys, but i don't eat boogers of any kind, ham or otherwise.

The first time someone asked me if i wanted "za," I had to ask like 3 times to repeat what they said. Then I just said, "Oh...what's it taste like? I've never had za before." Then they looked at ME like I was the dumbass...clearly not them for calling PIZZA fucking ZA. The only foods that can justifiably be abbreviated are PB & J and mac'n'chee. Fuck everything else.

i just ate waf for lunch. that means waffles in za speak. or did i have ffles? i don't know.

You had 'fles, by 'za standards.

are tacos known as 'os?

There are too many foods that end in "o," so I think tacos would be 'cos.

wow, i hate these za people

From now on I'm calling quesodillas 'illas, but I'm going to pronounce the l's.

Who the fuck calls it 'za? Is it some regional southshore thing?

If so I blame Scituate, because that town is full of homos.

I knew a kid who took Spanish for five years and still managed to order a "Chicken KWESS-A-DILLY-UH" at Taco Bell

(disclosure: he also graduated from HS with a 0.9 GPA)

First time I heard it was on Family Guy, but had no clue what it was at that time. So maybe RI is to blame. It is also referred to as 'za in the Tenacious D movie, so it could also be a west coast thing. If anyone from the south shore calls it 'za, they are a posuer narc and will be ousted POSTHASTE.

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

whenever i order fajitas at a restaurant i pronounce the j. i get weird looks from waitstaff nationwide.

I say yesadillyuh to kwessadillyuhs.

dreadkill said:

It's even better when you pronounce it "faj-eye-tas" so it sounds more like "vaginas." Teehee.

dreadkill said:

You and the Chili's "fa-jee-ta" guy are going in the oven.



BTW, this thread is great: Perfect example of how RTTP posters can get totally worked up and militant over something completely fucking ridiculous and trivial. I heart it; I heart it a lot.

DestroyYouAlot said:

That's cool, I listen to rap sometimes.

DestroyYouAlot said:

I know huh? it's perfect.

And I fucking HATE when people say "heart" instead of "love." You are a 13 year old girl, and you're going down on Saturday. I will destroy YOU a lot. Heart that, mothafucka!

MarkFuckingRichards said:

i say it like that

dreadkill said:

Haha, awesome. My girlfriend and I always try to pronounce things so they sound dirtier. Such as Papa Gino's...it's not Papa Jee-nos, it's either Pa-pajahnos or Papa Jeye-nos.

MarkFuckingRichards said:

I get things thrown at me frequently for my intentional and innuendo-filled mispronunciations. Which doesn't make me do it 10 times more, I can assure you.


BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

Yeah, it's good to listen to more than just one type of music.

im with your roommate on this one

MarkFuckingRichards said:

on Sons of Northern Darkness, track 6 "In My Kingdom Cold" there is a lyric that says "these mountains which i heart". Abbath is a 13 year old girl.

Gillis is the master of mispronunciation.

bacon = bah-kahn.

dreadkill said:

Murph and his whole family call the remote "the box". took me so long to get used to. haha.

My girlfriend lived in Philly for five years, and picked up the worst fucking South Philly retard accent imaginable. Talking on the pheown, eating a bag-ul drinking a glass of wood-er. She's wicked retahded.

i used to get made fun of by kids from NJ and NY at school for using the term Grinders. to them they were Heroes or some shit like that.

it's a sub, not a grinder, a hero, or a wedge. the place is called subway, not heroway.

wait wait wait, people call pizza "ZA"????????
im pretty sure id punch someone for saying that in my presence

'hey man how bout a slice of za?' ...yeah definatly getting hit in the mouth

Sinistas said:

nope, i say it bah-kawn.

lupper

calling pizza a pie doesnt bother me, because that's what it literally translates to in italian. technically the full name is pizza di pomodoro (tomato pie) and just asking for pizza in a place in italy is likely to get you a slice of apple pie and confused looks.

jimmies and sprinkles are the same thing, but the pc fucksquad wants the world to use the term sprinkles - "jimmies" is a reference to the Jim Crow laws (used to segregate white and black society) because of the chocolately nagro color, and is often seen as racist.

tomx nli said:


Not true, In the 1930s, the Just Born candy company of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, produced a topping called chocolate grains. The man who ran the machine that made these chocolate grains was named Jimmy Bartholomew. "Thus, his product became known as jimmies," said Ross Born, the chief executive officer. He was told this story by his grandfather and company founder, Sam Born. Just Born registered jimmies as its trademark, and continued producing jimmies until the mid-1960s - which is why the name was so popular there.

Even today, popular thought is that jimmies originated as a derogatory term for black sprinkles, as young black men were described as "jimmies" in the United States around the time of the Civil War. Though this has been proven to be an untrue origin, many people are resorting to the more neutral term "decoratives" to describe chocolate sprinkles.

Beaver McD said:

chocolate rain?

Chocolate grains
Tastes so good on top of my ice cream
Chocolate grains
Pour'em on and dream a tasty dream
Chocolate grains
Fudge sundaes or banana splits
Chocolate grains
Either way, they're the fucking shit

tomx nli said:

I ordered pizza in Italy a handful of times and they knew what I was talking about (both in Rome and in small villages that didn't even have names in some cases). But, every 5 miles in Italy it seems like it's a different country entirely, so I'm sure we're both right.

I refuse to believe that jimmies and sprinkles are the same thing. Even if i'm wrong on that, I will not agree, haha.

brunch?

DestroyYouAlot said:

Ugh. That accent troubles me greatly. A few years ago I worked in a liquor store; a handful of Phili broads were on vacation and came to my store to buy cigarettes. In MA, you can say "Mahbs" and 99% of everyone should understand that it means Marlboros. Well, these ladies insisted upon over-enunciated every single syllable. "Maruhlborrooowwws." I wanted to punch them in the head.

Well Italy is full of disgusting inbread dumpster trash.

The idea that jimmies are named after the inventor sounds like some horse shit you just looked up on google and there's no way you know that is how they are names any better then the dude who sais they are named with racist intent.

Niccolai said:



IT IS TASTY ITALIAN INBREAD, YOU MUST EAT IT.

Hahahaha, inbread. I'm going to order "inbread" when I go out to DUPPER with my family tonight.

i had FRENCH-inbread pizza tonight.

I had corn-inbread with green peppers in it tonight. Fucking worst idea in the world. Who the FUCK puts goddamn green peppers, the fruit of the devil's rancid leather cheerio, into delicious cornbread?!?!?! FUCK!

DestroyYouAlot said:

YES! No one ever knows what the fuck I'm talking about when I ask for jimmies down here. I miss Boston.

Speaking of "down here" as you say, Pam...before the Goreality show at the Bullpen 2 weekends ago, I went to a pizza place and asked if they sold slices. I understand that a lot of places don't sell slices, but they looked at me like I had 3 heads. How the fuck is that such a hard concept to grasp? Is that a New Beigeford I mean Bedford and surrounding area thing???

MarkFuckingRichards said:

No slices, no jimmies, impoverished immigrants... this is hell on earth.

Fuck Bristol County and their uncompromising culinary fascism.

they are all inbreaded.

Harr.

BTW, after you go shopping, you take in the groceries, NOT the 'bundles'

I swear to god I will kill the next peron that sais that to me.

i asked someone in traffic the other day "hey wheres the closest package store?" and he actually said "i think theres a ups store down the street". i really wanted to punch him in the mouth. i hate college kids
