That waitron means a person who is waiting on you, I get, it’s obvious. It sounds like a term that an insufferable person would use.

Mike C, re “better and cheaper”
I am looking for better and cheaper for my company healthcare, could you please suggest your carrier? I am sure they will appreciate your recommendation.

Once upon a time, Debbie, some folks tried to promote the use of waitron as a gender-neutral substitute for waiter or waitress (I’m not sure why, server works just fine). Some folks use it as sort of a demeaning term, which, knowing pammala’s blog persona, is no doubt how she meant it. Wouldn’t she just be a joy to work for?

Pamalala’s just spent too much time in the rarified air of taquitos and Slim Jim’s. it’s made her snobby.

Well, Sandi, we certainly know that suzie doesn’t mind pretending she’s somebody she isn’t, which is MUCH more of a deception than altering your accent a tiny bit.

Yeah guys, cause Suzie has never made fun of anyone’s vernacular or speech. Watch out for that lightning sister Suzie.

#70 gdad,

Your pretty good at getting some wingnuts all fired up yourself. I recall at least twice you got threatened with an ass beating by Dublin dawg and jony/tack. I myself am sitting pretty on the record I think by raising the ire of jony, hey frank’s boy DMatt and that hayseed Jethro Doto. DD may have threatened to put a beating on me as well but I can’t recall exactly how many virtual meltdowns the poor guy had before his shrink had his internet disconnected until he completed anger management class. I swear to God, it’s easier to get a wingtard all twisted up in a homicidal rage than it is to steal candy from a baby. Then again, this is like the air that I breathe. It’s just that freakin’ easy. A behavioral physiologist could potty train a cat easier than he could teach wingnuts the self-restraint of a sixth grader.
