Behind! Corner! Hot! — Restaurant Lingo That Will Traumatize You Forever

Ever wondered what the hell restaurant people are yelling all day? In this episode of You're Not Special, Erin Loman Jeck and Dr. Sizzle pull back the swinging kitchen door and unpack the real glossary of the industry—the acronyms, the insults, the battle cries, and the PTSD triggers that keep restaurants running and servers crying in walk-ins. We're diving into: Why FOH is chaos in yoga pants and BOH is a cult. The origin of 86… and why it always means your favorite dish is dead. FIFO, the religion your fridge violates daily. What POS really stands for (hint: not "point of sale"). VIPs, PPA, MEP, MOD, and other restaurant terms that make servers question existence. The eternal war between auto-fire servers and cooks who just want one peaceful day. Why "on the fly" is both a kitchen term and an emotional cry for help. "Behind," "Corner," "Hot," and other things we scream in grocery stores by accident. Plus: the crew's own top-secret lingo, including RFN, innuendos, Han Solo tickets, and why someone's always "swinging their cock" in the window. It's the restaurant dictionary you didn't know you needed—equal parts hilarious, filthy, educational, and deeply, spiritually chaotic. Whether you've worked in a kitchen or you've only watched The Bear, this episode will make you appreciate your servers… or fear them. Order up. It's about to get spicy.
