So, I jacked this from the Portland Hamburger site. You should really be reading it; vegans and vegitarians are welcome to post up about their non-cow sandwiches.
From Portland Hamburgers (mmmmmm…..burger)
There is a lot of slang out there about hamburgers and from time to time we will update this list. If you come across any hamburger related slang let us know.
Following is a listing of hamburger and related slang (barring the obvious):
$100 Hamburger: Aviation slang for a private general aviation flight for the sole purpose of dining at a non-local airport. Most often used by pilots who are looking for any excuse to fly, a $100 hamburger trip usually involves flying a short distance (less than two hours), eating at an airport restaurant, and flying home. “$100″ originally referred to the approximate cost of renting or operating a light general aviation aircraft, such as a Cessna 172, for the time it took to fly round-trip to a nearby airport. Increasing fuel prices have since caused an increase in hourly operating costs for most airplanes, whether rented or owned.
American Chop Suey: Macoroni with hamburger and a bit of tomato sauce.
Bap: soft, flattish bread roll; hamburger bun…
GO to Portland Hamburgers for more slang. You never know when you will be in New York and you get into that guy’s cab…and boom, you need knowledge if you don’t want to look bad on the Discovery Channel. No one wants to look bad on the Discover Channel. Get the slang down; cheat if necessary.
