I like good vodka, but I generally order my vodka tonics with rail
What's rail? I assume it isn't literally, like, a plank or something in your drink.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Rail means it's made using whatever the normal alcohol is for the bar, not the premium ones.

Ah -- I had heard "well," but not "rail." Cool.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Rail/well could probably be used on those regional language maps.

With an added option for those of us who say "Have no clue what either mean". But I was raised by Temperance Union folks, so I'm woefully lacking in boozy vocabulary.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Barcelona was where I got food poisoning that landed me in the hospital for a week on my honeymoon! So um, I'd go with Prague.

Terrible that it was on your honeymoon!! My boyfriend was hospitalized in Paris (in his 20s) due to food poisoning. Thank dog he hasn't held that against Paris, or I'd have to go back alone. ;)

To this day, I have no idea. DH and I ate almost exactly the same things (and even when we didn't, we were sharing bites back and forth) and he didn't even get an upset stomach. It was a total freak thing.
[eta: Also, the vast VAST majority of food poisoning cases are from restaurant employees not washing their hands, not the food as such. So in that sense it really doesn't matter.]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
D says well, he's from the west coast. I think I say rail more than well but the terms are interchangeable for me. I'm from the midwest.
