[Article] How to order cawffee in New Yawk

Cities the world over have their lingo and New York is not an exception. Obviously. Fuggedaboudit is as much a NYC icon as the apple or the Yankees. It even has it's own street sign.

Not to promote my own articles... ok, to promote my own articles, years ago I also published some useful bits of New Yawk lingo:

* BQE = [Brooklyn] / [Queens] Expressway
..
* Hero = type of bread
..
* GU (pronounced "goo") - "geographically undesirable": chickspeak for guys who live way outside of Manhattan and are, presumably, not the right material to be dating (or even talking to). If you're a girl of the "Sex & The City" circuit, you might find this term useful.
..
* Pie = whole pizza
..
* B&T or B&T people = "bridge & tunnel" [people]: those living in the outer boroughs and New Jersey. Can be used as an insult. Not to be confused with BLT (bacon, lettuce & tomato).
..
* To stand/be ON line = to stand IN line (the process known to Britons as queuing).

Forgot to say - the "regular" meaning is correct, however some vendors understand this as "milk+2 spoons of sugar" and some as "milk+1 spoon". So, personally, I say "regular, 2 sugars".
