animal style= this is grilled onions, yum
protein style= they wrap it in a huge leaf of lettuce rather than the bun
n by n= 5x5 or whatever number you want of patties, I have a coworker who tackles the 5x5. my mouth won't even open that big
shakes= they only list one size but will do larger

now I"m getting hungry for lunch!!!! there's one just down the street from my new office.....

As a follow up to my Wendy's tale where I had to call the franchise to complain, the other night Dan and I were working late again so at about 11 pm I went to the same Wendy's. I was a little reluctant to do it because I was afraid they might retaliate by adding some special sauce to our food or something. But when I got to the first window it was a different guy, and when I got to the second window the girl was also a different one, and could not have been more pleasant. Very courteous and said " there you go Sir, your order is all there."

I also checked the bag before I left, and every sauce, dinnerware, and straw was in there too! Looks like the "retraining" did some good. Not sure what happened to the original crew, or if was just a different shift, but it seemed much better there this time around.

Sorry! I keep forgetting that you fellas and fellasses don't talk the same English that we do here in the Antipodes....it's a colloquialism.
"Tucker" is food of any sort, and to "grab your tucker bag" (or nose bag,) is to get food (or a feed) from somewhere, be it from home or a shop.
E.g. to say: "I'm going home to put on the nose-bag" means that you're going home to have a meal, and to "grab a tucker bag" usually implies a take-away meal.
And "tucker at a barbie" is any food that has been barbequed.
Oops! Barbecued to you lot!
Makes perfect sense to any Kiwi or Aussie!
Another one (just off the top of my head,) is "bones".....when we talk about "bones", we mean relations; brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins etc., as in: "He's bones of mine" means that we're related somehow.
That one got my wife's cousin (straight from the U.K.) totally confused.
When we intrduced him to people as "bones", he didn't have the slightest idea what we were talking about!
Hope that clears things up!

Yep,straight up,guys,we will have to get you speakin Kiwi,Jim Shelton got a crash course when he was over here for AmeriCARna.its real easy,so dont go packin a sad,ya hear? And just for the record,I dont eat McVomits either.

Thanks johnboy for the heads up on the language barrier here. Cryky I get it, Now that you put it that way it makes perfect scence to me. I find it very interesting in the differences between countries, the way they act, dress, and talk. And today I vow to use the phrase, tucker bag , nose bag , and or tucker bag at the barbie, when the opportunity arises.

You'll be getting some strange looks then Joel, people will be thinking you're a bit of a dag.
(There ya go, there's another one.......literally a "dag" is a ball of dung tangled in the wool of a sheep's rear end, colloquially it's someone who's a bit out of the ordinary, a "fun" type person, and surprisingly, is not insulting, to describe someone as a dag is actually a compliment!)

hay johnboy I went tuna fishing in austraila a few years ago and they eat this stuff called vegamite they put it on everything like you would ketchup or mayo that stuff is worst tasting stuff I ever tasted when I come to nz to go fishing Iam not going have to eat that stuff am I LOL ted

Vegamite cannot be any worse than vitameatavegimin.

Vegemite and Marmite are two similar yeast based breakfast spreads, very popular in both Aussie and God's Own. (NZ)
Perhaps an acquired taste Ted?
Although I will say that too much spoils the flavour......a case of where less is more.......also; if you have a tendency to gout, stay well away from both of them!
But a half a teaspoon full in your beef gravy, or a swipe of one of them across a chunk of 'tasty' cheese......Yum!
I'll bet Prince Charlie doesn't eat that well!
But rest assured Ted, no-ones going to sit on you and force it down your throat!

Dag, I love that johnboy, I will be ready to vacation down under before you know it. The locals will not even know I am a tourist.

Hotroddaddy, I knew I heard the vetavitavegimen thing before. I am sad to say I thought it was an SNL skit. But it was not, and this shows my old age, here is the skit it actually came from.

Sorry Joel, sort of hi-jacked your thread a bit there.......but while it's hi-jacked and we're on the suject of dags, there's another common expression: "Rattle your dags", which means to "Get a move on", or "Move a bit faster".
It's self explanatory I think.

Yep sort of like when we say "move your $h!t" means the same thing though "Rattle you dags" sounds cooler
