message: I found some more lingo in a Stargate SG-1 episode:
"a Noah's boy in a blanket, two hen fruit wreaked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley, a warmy with a moldy lid, and two checkerboards" http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0709210/quotes
Some of it was explained here, but not all of it. What are a warmy and a moldy lid? I presume a blanket is a pancake, but that seems a strange thing to go with ham. Axeman (talk) 02:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It makes perfect sense if you read the well-referenced article on Waffle House.  Specifically, section Iconic status, paragraph 5.  --Aladdin Sane (talk) 23:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, examples, linked or otherwise would be helpful to illustrate the main term.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnycando (talk • contribs) 02:11, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

message: "Klasky-Csupo?" How did the name of an animation studio founded in 1981 become diner slang for "chewing gum?" Or is someone just trying to be funny?  WaxTadpole (talk) 18:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: What is this article on about? Must be mainly American usage. I worked in a kitchen for a few months in the UK and a lot of these are just weird! Cls14 (talk) 14:49, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not particularly American: in the Netherlands we have this kind of lingo too. Not as extensive as in the US, but still. Vistaus (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Seems you could cut back on similar entries by condensing the items. Adam & Eve variants stand out in particular, along with various things "on a raft"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.201.31 (talk) 20:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Repetition

message: I removed the following: "Upset Special: a parody of diner lingo attributed to Jay Soderberg, commonly known as PodVader, a minor internet celebrity who works as podcast producer for ESPN.  The term is applied to a game that is being called out as a guaranteed upset." 
Reasons. 1) This is not an article on Jay Soderberg but on diner lingo, and this term is not diner lingo. 2) If there's a place for this term, it would be in the Wiki article Jay Soderberg, if there is one. 3) The term, and very likely the person himself, fail to meet notability guidelines.

message: I love this kind of lingo! Heard this American diner lingo first when I was a kid and it was so much fun to read the entire list today! This is a true gem! 🙂
But I was wondering if we could extend the article to include lists of diner lingo in other countries? For example, here in the Netherlands we have such lingo in restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. too. Would be a nice addition IMHO. Vistaus (talk) 21:12, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

message: In the SpongeBob episode “Pickles” Bubble bass asks for the double triple bossy deluxe and one of the things he said was “in a raft” and “make it cry” can somebody add a pop culture section that says the stuff I wrote 2A00:23C6:BE86:B401:A02E:5724:4A0A:3567 (talk) 11:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
