Revenge of the Valbowski

So usually when something is abbreviated, there is a significant amount of abbreviation involved. They are not meant to be catchy or hip, they just need to take up less space than the entire word. Most words are capable of being abbreviated, although I suggest just substituting "loo" in place of the end of the word.

However, Dairy Queen does not seem to believe in the concept of meaningful abbreviations. They're abbreviating because damnit they can, and damnit they're creative. When you order yourself a chicken strip basket, reasonably priced at $4.99 and $5.99, you are offered a choice of sauces. You are also notified that it will cost you an additional $.49 for an "Xtra" sauce. Now, this, in my opinion, was not what abbreviations were designed for. Simply taking out one letter does not cut it. Not only is this not a well-executed abbreviation, the word would be pronounced exactly the same as the original. Very upsetting. Now, Xtina, there's an abbreviation.

The posts will get better people, I promise.
