The translation I heard for that phrase was “blind and insane”.

You order, and they give you something completely different. For that authentic foreign restaurant feel.

I hate it when I order the Fido Foo Yung and they bring me the Kitty Kao Pung.

Like the modern slang for "what's up" is "s'up?"

Wondering what this food is, the chef was asked and he replied, "s'corn".Somewhere the apostrophe got dropped.

Or as the old joke goes, ask some one "snoo?" When they ask back, "what's snoo?" you reply, "Oh, not much. What's new with you?"

I'll be here all week folks.......

Well, shucks. As long as the weather is fair-and-continued-weird my job is easy.
