I would have to say there are two phrases that just make my heart sink - the first is::

What's that??

Which is the response I get when I've said the following -

I'd like to order a Scorpion -
What's that??

Technically it's the look that goes with this statement that makes me cringe a little. The answer What's that?? regarding anything Tiki...it hurts. But with my friends it gives me a chance to "spread the word" so in that case it's not so bad.

My next two words that I hate would be

Cover Charge

I rarely go to a place with a Cover Charge that's worth it. Cover Charges at Tiki Bars are typically the worst because (in most/but not all cases) it is for a band that most likely thinks Martin Denny would be the owner of their favorite restraunt.

No offence to those Tiki Bar owners who are trying to make ends meet by bringing in these kind of bands -- because the two word phrase

STAYING OPEN

is most important.
