Jargon Smargon Coffee Jargon

What's with the vernacular at Starbucks and other little coffee shops opening at a corner near you? What ever happened to just plain old small, medium and large. The days when a 'regular' consisted of one cream, two sugars, badda-bing, bada-boom - done.
Since when has coffee become so complicated?

Are we too good for regulars now ? It's either Tall, Grande or Venti. Apparently, certain shops around the city have taken to adding to the Venti (which is the largest of sizes) and now have a Grande Supremo. If we dont do something about this soon we'll be hearing people order 'Grande Supremo Maximo Humongo Gigantico double Venti Large' coffee's, and sadly enough, know exactly which cup size they'd be getting; the bucket of coffee.

This "coffee culture" has been poured in via Europe and has oozed over our pot-hole covered streets since.
Coffee shops have become more ubiquitous than the ever-ubiquitous McDonalds. Coffee is to Starbucks what the Big Mac is to McDonalds; the Mac Daddy (or Bean Daddy for the mocha loving fiends), but when is enough enough?
I'll tell ya - when you hear someone order the "Grande Supremo Maximo Gigantico double Venti Large, with whip".
Enjoy !
