The Diner Lingo game is to test your knowledge on...well...diner lingo. Below is an explanation of diner lingo from Wikipedia: Diner Lingo is a kind of verbal shorthand used by cooks and chefs in diners and diner-style restaurants The origin of the lingo is unknown, but there is evidence suggesting it may have been used by African-American waiters as early as the 1870s and 1880s. Many of the terms used are lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek and some are a bit racy or ribald, but are helpful mnemonic devices for short-order cooks and staff. Diner slang was most popular from the 1920s to the 1970s.
