'Unsweetened' Tea - how can we get rid of that word?

Unsweetened? There's sweet tea and there's tea, why on earth do I get asked if I'd like unsweetened tea when I ask for tea? If I wanted sweet tea you'd think I'd just ask for it?
As a matter of fact why does coffee have to be 'black' coffee if I just want it the way it came out of the damn machine? It's just coffee.
Now, get off my damn lawn!

Love it. Very Carlin-esque thread.

You're right! What about when my boo at Popeyes ask if I want spicy or mild? What flavor is mild?

No shite. I asked for a black coffee at CC's the other day and the bitch repeated my order by saying "you want coffee with nothing in it??" and I said "Yeh black". I pull up to the window and she looks at me like I was a racist.

get rid of that term and within 6 months there will be a rant about it not being used to inform us....
you know there is "blond coffee" now? and I believe Black does not refer to the color but to the fact that its unsweetened

I ordered a coffee at the CC's drive thru once and asked for cream and sugar. They asked how much and I said 1 sugar and make the coffee the color of Beyonce's skin.

I think all of that raw meat is affecting your gray matter.

Because the general population are fricking idiots.
Several times a night people tell me they want iced tea and when I ask which, they say sweet.
Blame tea drinkers. Not the person clarifying.

There are worse misuse of terms. Like La. Tech Lady Techsters. A "Techster" is "a person who goes to La. Tech."
Therefore, La. Tech Lady Techsters = "La. Tech Peole Who Attend La. Tech."
The correct term would be the female version of the male team, which is 'bulldogs'. So, the women's basketball team should be called "The La. Tech Bitches."

First world problems.

I thought this was going to be about how the full "unsweetened tea" sounds overly affected. Just say "unsweet tea" like the rest of us, you pretentious a holes.
