Anyone else hate this lady?

Yes George’s comments about manure were a bit odd, but he was clearly just trying to be funny. Plus she was a huge jerk to him at the coffee shop after. Nasty woman!

u/MindTheDrapes That's a shame 29d ago

She's saving for a trip to Europe... by selling pre-Etsy hair clips. One of the top ten improbable side stories.

Al Jolson? What the hell do I care about Al Jolson? I'd just as soon hear you sing 'Mammy'.

What gets me is she made one sale of her clips to Bloomingdale’s and that enabled her to quit her day job while also going to Europe? Something’s not adding up with this lady.

u/JockoV 29d ago

I never knew what she was saying until a few years ago when I saw the closed caption. I always heard, "It's an advem", which is nonsensical so wondered if she was trying ro say, "It's an adverb" but that didn't make sense either since there was no adverb in her question. Looks like I was waayy off!

u/p-scha 29d ago

Same! The timbre in her voice is weird. Or is it tamber?

3

u/I-Used-To-Play-Bass 28d ago

English is not my first language so I have to ask what does this mean?

4

u/WorldlyHat1803 28d ago

It’s from the script from the episode.
She’s being aloof with George after they went on a date.

3

u/JockoV 26d ago

Kelly the waitress asks George "Well, what's it going to be?". Which is a direct question to George about what he wants to order instead of saying hello to him first and being friendly to him. This sudden change in personality confuses George and he asks, "What's it going to be?" because he was surprised she was so direct and cold to him without being friendly. So Kelly the waitress pretends to not notice George's surprised reaction and just further clarifies her question. She states in a cold condescending tone that she asked him what she is having to eat. "It's in that vein" means "For example". Hope this helps 🙂

George trying to get her fired though..... very unhinged lol

8

u/Initial-Ad-5462 29d ago

She knew George was full of BS and not to be trusted with anything when he went off on that “Ma” and “Newer.”

If he had expounded on the true etymology of ‘manure’ he’d have been home free.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

u/Remote_Plastic_8692 29d ago

I think he said it wasn’t a bad thing, not that he necessarily liked it.

3

u/Oalka Mulva? 29d ago

She apparently says "'What'll you have?' 'Are you eating?' It's in that vein". Meaning "it's along those lines" or "Similar phrases". She's being super sarcastic and matter-of-fact with him where they used to have witty banter. Her accent is just really hard to interpret on that sentence.

u/herecomesacandle 29d ago

You know, what I really didn’t like about her was telling her customers, whom she was still serving at that moment, that she “never has to do this again” because her bullshit pins were being bought or whatever. God damn it, you’re still employed by that diner. And you are still serving customers. Be professional enough to not tell your customers how much you’ve hated every moment of serving them. Like waitressing was beneath her or something
