The attendant at the self-checkout machine at the Navy Commissary saw my shopping list on the scales after I'd put all my bags in the cart to leave.
As she was bringing it to me, she read it and was confused by my habit of abbreviating items. The list went something like this:
baw
kam
sib
gat
itl
tsok
tinap
mais
gisan
big
but
"What is this, some kind of code?" she asked.
At the speed-line register was a Filipina lady I happen to know, so I showed it to her, and she explained it to the other woman:
baw = garlic (bawang)
kam = kamatis (tomato)
sib = sibuyas (onions)
gat = gatas (milk)
itl = itlog (egg)
tsok = tsokolat (chocolate, for cookies)
tinap = tinapay (bread)
mais = mais (corn)
gis = gisantes (peas)
big = bigas (rice)
but = buto (bones, for the dogs)
and so on. I mean, c'mon, EVERYbody knows that, right?
Guess the woman just didn't expect this blue-eyed, fair-skinned ol' Midwest farm boy to think thataway.

The list is for the wedding reception dinner for the vulgar fat girl who has been wading in manure. Never tried cedar cheese.

Cedar cheese is the new high fiber cheese. Moochelle is pushing it for school kids.
The fat lady with the "F..M.. tat is desperately begging.

I wonder if she even knows she didn't get the tattoos she asked for?

At first I was prepared to ridicule the list maker but after a little thought, I actually find the list charming. While not the most literate, orderly, concise or healthy shopping list, the guy is still putting a lot thought into what his family needs and likes. I give him a total pass. Write on, friend, write on.
