1
ATM Machine - Do you realize that you are saying “machine” twice? That’s right – the M in ATM stands for machine. Cut it out.

Rice Pilaf - Pilaf means rice ball. So don’t bother asking for’ rice rice’ next time.
3
Ahi Tuna Fish - Ahi straight-up translates to tuna. Absolutely no point repeating yourself.

5
Naan Bread - When you order or refer to naan, just say that. It’s a type of bread, so don’t embarrass yourself by asking for bread bread.
6
PIN Number - You got it: the N in PIN stands for number. So, “enter your Personal Identification Number number” seems a little unnecessary.
7
Panini Sandwich - A panini is a sandwich in Italy. So unless you want two of them, there’s nada reason for saying this.
8
Veggie Soy - Yep, soy is vegetarian. Ain’t no such thing as soy meat. That’s the point. So don’t stumble on this one..

Shrimp Scampi - You got it: scampi means shrimp. Don’t bother wasting a word on this one.

Please RSVP - RSVP already has “please” in it. So what’s with asking “please reply please”? Sounds desperate.

14

15
