Expresso milkshakes.

[Sweets]

So, I was trying to find a way to keep up with my little joy, Justin. Denis Leary was correct when he said children were like having monkeys on acid frolicking about.

I digress.

Two shots of expresso and ahellovalotta ice cream makes me happy.

I love my expresso maker.

Ziiiiinnnnggg.

Or in a pinch, chocolate covered espresso beans. Keep some in your car at all times.

[Soulpieced]

Espresso.

:blush:

Espresso.

yeah.....that too.....

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Espresso.>>

Expresso just happens to be correct.

[Soulpieced]

Expresso is a slang term and probably an actual brand of an espresso maker.

[Parkbandit]

Whenever I see the word "Milkshake" I think of that stupid song.

And it makes me sad.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Expresso is a slang term>>

No. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=expresso)

[Soulpieced]

Bob, I understand you have basic Internet search skills, so why don't you try google'ing expresso and see how many of the first 100 results are related to the coffee drink.

[Bobmuhthol]

Probably because a dictionary is a better resource for whether or not expresso is a word?

[Soulpieced]

Ok, so you are saying you are an idiot and think Googles results are worse than dictionary.com? Please do a google for expresso and tell me the results.

[Bobmuhthol]

I did a google for expresso. But trusting a DICTIONARY OF WORDS AND THEIR MEANINGS seems a bit more of a stable argument than "THIS SEARCH ENGINE SAID SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Soulpieced]

Ok sir Dictionary.com. Why don't you take a little trip and click on the Thesaurus button and type in expresso. Tell me what results you get there.

[Bobmuhthol]

Oh no, they don't put all variants of a word in the thesauras! What shall we do!?

[Czeska]

Oh for the love of all that's good ...


Did you mean: espresso

The drink is ESPRESSO. eXpresso has become a variant because of consistent slang use (read: Mispronunciation).

[Soulpieced]

While we're on the subject, let's just take a little tour of the word Variant.

.

variant

adj : differing from a norm or standard; "a variant spelling" n 1: an event that departs from expectations [syn: discrepancy, variance]

.

Ok, so variant is synonymous with discrepancy. Let's delve a little further.

.

discrepancy

2: an event that departs from expectations [syn: variance, variant]

.

Well, that can be interpreted that expresso is a discrepancy of espresso, meaning it departs from the expected use, and it is not the proper word. You lose.

<<meaning it departs from the expected use, and it is not the proper word>>

Okay. It's not the proper word. It isn't, however, unusable, hence being a word. I never said to use expresso over espresso. I just said expresso is correct. Is espresso more correct because it's more common? ARE YOU FOR WHITE SUPREMACY?


Typo.

Expresso is a made-up word because people mispronounce it. If you are saying it is correct, that is like people saying my GS name is Soulpierced because they can't read properly, even though my name is Soulpieced. Hence the term variant. An incorrect use of a word.

I am so addicted to those! :drool: God bless who ever thought them up.

[AnticorRifling]

Anything that resembles coffee with or in addition to chocolate rules. I've got a mouthful of sweet teeth and I can drink me some coffee as well. Ahh caffine in all it's glory.

[Tsa`ah]

I love my la Pavoni.

It's perty, it's fast, it makes a better espresso or cappuccino than anywhere this south of Chicago.

The best espresso shake is a double shot, 6 ounces real vanilla, 4 table spoons caramel and a shot of Jack Daniels, or if you're a sissy .... Amaretto.

To get the max jitter effect from any espresso, use light roast ... more caffeine.

[Czeska]

Soulpieced, I haven't been this fond of you since you gave me 10k in game on like my 3rd day playing.

[Soulpieced]

Everyone has their moments.
