Re: People and things that infuriate you way more than they should
mason,
While I agree with the trite point (I've grown accustomed to saying grande at starbucks), your product comparison is off. It's a size. The products are mocha, cappuccino, coffee, latte, etc etc. If I opened up a coffee shop down the street from you and the sizes were "slap" and "tickle", youd'd be all "wtf?" over it.
It wouldn't be a big deal if you could just get away with saying medium or whatever. Like when you go to a restaurant like Chiles or whatever, and they have some catch phrase name for a bacon cheeseburger, you can still tell the waitress, "bacon cheeseburger, please" and she won't get all confused.
