There are those friends you know and have known long enough to have verbal short hand, or weird inside jokes, or descriptive phrases that mean nothing to anyone else. Code, I suppose, for you and your friends to follow and know.
So tonight, I passed a restaurant about a dozen miles from my home and thought to myself, did I know we had a weird-ass Joe's out here? Now, only![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwendolyngrace would understand this statement. Because (obviously) the restaurant is not called "Weird-ass Joe's."
This bit of shorthand goes back several years ago now when I was first introduced to the small chain of restaurants and couldn't remember the name. I fumbled for a bit before I came out with, "you know, odd Joe's, strange Joe's, Weird-ass Joe's." The restaurant's proper name is "Not Your Average Joe's," and is a small chain here in Massachusetts (with one location in Virginia of all places) and they usually have a pretty good menu.
But it will forever be Weird-ass Joe's to us. And I have one about twelve-ish miles from my house on Rt. 9.
