I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an idiot because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". "Short" is the only size that makes sense and "Grande" is a Spanish word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them medium, large and extra large?

Get the Vente mug.A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee.

"Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?

Get the Grande mug.The small coffee size at Starbuck's; the only size on the menu there that makes any sense (et al Tall, Grande, Vente).
"Short" is the smallest size Starbuck's offers, but you'll only get this if you ask for it by name. If you do order a "small" the barista will likely give you a "Tall" because anyone asking for a "small" will get the "Tall", which is the smallest size for which the prices are actually on the menu. Also only their hot drinks can be served in the "Short" size. Sound confsing? Yeah, I hate Starbuck's too!

Get the downdy ocean mug.A place in or near a town or city for teens and tweens to drive their cars, cruise for chicks or guys and to generally see and be seen on weekends.
When I was a kid in the 50's the chicks at the circuit went for guys in the fastest hotrods. In the 60's and 70's it was rods with the coolest paint jobs. Then in the 80's and 90's it was loudest stereos. Now its all about giant rims, crazy lighting schemes, bone-jarring hydaulics and rice burners. Things just ain't the same since Fonzi died.
