A customer asked if my ribeyes were 'angry' and now I can't stop thinking about it
Some guy last Saturday pointed at the display case and said he wanted the angry cut, meaning the one with the most marbling, and while it took me a second to catch on, he was totally right that the heavy fat stripes do look like little veins popping out, so have any of you actually heard customers use weird names for standard cuts before?

The "angry cut" thing is funny because it's the same way people make up names for all kinds of stuff when regular words fail them. My grandma called the good paper towels the "thirsty ones" and to this day that's what the whole family says. A buddy of mine works at a hardware store and guys come in asking for the "toothy" saw blade and the "sticky" tape, and everyone just nods along like that's the official name. It happens with coffee too, people order it "grumpy" when they want it super strong. I figure we all just reach for whatever word feels right in the moment, and if it sticks it sticks. The guy who said "angry" for a well marbled ribeye honestly nailed it better than any grading chart ever could.
