Chances are you've been in this situation at one point or another. You go up to the bar and ask for a drink. What happens next takes you off guard and because you're not too keen on the terminology, the bartender may as well be speaking to you in Swahili. He or she is asking if you want a "well" or a "call" drink. Realizing that you have no clue what the bartender means, you stammer then respond in a muffled voice, hoping to push past the awkward moment, get your drink and high tail it out of there before any other strange incantations are thrown your way. The next thing you know, you've either gotten one of the worst tasting cocktails you've ever had in your life or you've just paid $12 for a rum and coke.
