    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.

    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?

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

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

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

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

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 877 ✭✭✭seamusk84


    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.

    Ever hear of a deep fat fryer?

    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.
