"I'm sorry your meal's a little late. The cook thought you wanted ***s and onions instead of ***s and mushrooms."

Like...that's not normal, right? Been to this place three years and never heard that here or anywhere else before.

I get shorthand, but just say jalapenos instead of a slur. Shorten to peppers if you must.

Shortening to j*p doesn't even makes sense. Haps or hals would make more sense.

It's the standard abbreviation in nearly every restaurant for the record.

It only gets offensive when some people take it too far and start doing things like referring to a pineapple+ham+jalapeno pizza as Pearl Harbor for example (which I have unfortunately seen).

This except she.

I figure it's written like that in shorthand a bunch all over for meal tickets and inventory or whatever, and then this waitress eventually just started saying it really comfortably even though I ever heard her say that before.

Yikes! I've seen Pearl Harbor listed on a sushi menu before too though.

Yeah though, it's not that this word phonetically offends me, but it did catch me off guard due to its other definitions.

presumably "haps" could be confused for "habanero"?

I thought this was going to be someone saying "Penos" wrongly.
The other word never came to my mind.

People made fun of me (and my friend) in college becasue of a phrase.
It's an actual phrase that isn't racist, but everyone laughed at us becasue they thought we were confusing words.
Their version of the phrase used a slightly different word, but is wrong.

I'd post it but gamefaqs will think i am racist or something.

Weird thing to be offended about. Most people don't really consider that a slur anyway, because in Sports it's literally how they shorten Japan on the screen.
