Language Barrier

Why do we have to speak Italian for ONE WORD?

That’s what happens when you order a coffee. I drink black decaf, so I don’t need to know the difference between a cappuccino, frappuccino, cup-a-tea-no, macchiato, mocha soccer, happy shopper, snotty, spotty moriarty, Russell Harty, it’s-my-party or farty latte, but I do have to order a decaf, “Americano”.

Well I’ve had enough of having to use these Italian passwords so yesterday, I just asked for a decaf “American”.

The girl behind the counter said, “Americano?”, and I said, “No, I’m Inglese!”.

Craic on!
