Eatery

the-island-man · 11-07-2019 11:17pm #1

I know new words come along all the time and languages evolve but Eatery..... really?!

Wtf was wrong with restaurant or cafe?!

When I look up the origins it says it was first used in 1901 but I've only heard it in the past few years.

Has anyone else got another common enough word they haven't heard until recently?

Force Carrier · 11-07-2019 11:32pm

It's bad enough it would drive you to the drinkery.

dxhound2005 · 11-07-2019 11:34pm

Drinkery is in the dictionary.

Not a new word but in terms of food... they would nearly slap the word "organic" on a soiled bag of nappies these days and charge you an extra few Bob for the organic matter inside.

Before that was probably 'farm fresh'.
Before that 'choicest'
Before that something else meaningless. Marketing spin crap(Fair Trade crap)

Fcuk that. Is it artisanal? Was it curated?

Beanntraigheach · 12-07-2019 1:12am

I find the overuse of the word "Bespoke" irritating.

Here's another one: "Oven-baked".
What else are you going to bake something in?

Peregrinus · 12-07-2019 1:51am

"Panfried". In case you're worried that we fried it on a shovel.

Duckworth_Luas · 12-07-2019 2:06am

I'm currently working in America where I see signs notifying me that the business inside is a hair cuttery.

Realt Dearg Sec · 12-07-2019 2:22am

I always feel like I need to go to an exercisery if I've been to an eatery the night before.

seamusk84 · 12-07-2019 3:15am

I only ever see the term “eatery” in Eddie rockets in Ireland.

The problem being I always need to go to the sh1tery two hours after having a feed in there.....Which is a major pain when I’m out with the wife at he shopery.

Nunnery: old enough for Shakespeare to have used it but rarely heard nowadays.
Cattery not to be confused with catery; the former is where cats are housed, the latter where provisions are stored.

Restaurant, cafe, diner, grill, dining room, cafeteria, inn , canteen, bistro, brasserie, hostelry.

Why pick on eatery?

Bigbagofcans · 12-07-2019 10:22am

Probably used by 'foodies'.

You do realise 'eatery' has been in use for about 120 years? Hardly a new word.

We have new ways of eating. A spar is not a restaurant or cafe for example. God bless progress.

How the fcuk did this term ever catch on?
The hot food counters in shops and garages couldn't be further from delicatessens.
Why are they called delis?

Catery - storing provisions
Cattery - storing cats
Chinese food = cats, so they say catery but mean cattery

But a spar isn't an eatery. So how does an eatery constitute a "new way of eating" different from that of a restaurant? What's the progress?

Eatery
