Spoon Server
Why did we stop saying “waiter / waitress” and start saying “server”?
I was out of the country ten years, and when I came back, I found that we no longer say “waiter”, but “server” (up till now, I had always thought a server was a silver implement used to spoon up a casserole).
My question is: why on earth did we do that? We already had perfectly good words for waiters & waitresses & servers (the silver kind). Is it an attempt to disguise the sex of the waiter? I assure you, people can tell.
Saying “server” for a person sounds a little Communist, to me (a lot like the generic and soul-less Comrade), but what do I know?
Thanks for your input; I’m looking froward to reading responses on this!
I didn’t.
And I still hold doors open for women and sometimes effeminite men if I’m not paying attention.
