Skinny

I am a huge fan of the new Starbucks lingo. For the past 2+ years I have been ordering my "usual":
Tall Sugar-Free Hazelnut Skim Latte

Sometimes even ordering it as:
Tall Extra-Hot Sugar-Free Hazelnut Skim Latte

Now, they have come up with some short-hand speak for this very situation, helping to cut down on the confusion by the jumble so many words can create.

Skinny.

Now I can order a Tall Skinny Hazelnut Latte and all is well. I get the drink I want, no one stares at me as if to say, "Woah, Ms Fancy Starbucks Regular with her Special Order Requests..."

Life is good.
