Default Nicknames for stores and restaurants

After Ken calling the colonel Dirty Bird made me chuckle I gotta hear what you guys call some other places. I use the classics, Rotten Ronny's, Wally World and Crappy Tire but lets hear what else is out there.

Used to be a restaurant in Lloydminster; Golden star. Wife called it the golden Gag

Taco Slime

Friend used to hate McD's called it MCPuke, but calling DQ anything derogatory burnt him up inside, so it was referred to as Dairy Hag Queen for a Day (not hag)

Taco Hell

McDick's or McDicknald's = Rotten Ronnie's

My wife calls anything from Chef Boyardee "Poochari" after an old Kids in The Hall skit about a dog food commercial. Now I've taken to it as well (I'm the only one of us who eats it though)

Any strip club is referred to as "The Ballet"

Enjoy the easy ride, anti hunters. Strange to me why we seem to be doing your job for you.

Excuse me while I go puke.
