There are some great steakhouses out there, but yes, you hit the nail on the head... it's all about the experience. That's what eating out is about in general, in my opinion. It's about being catered to and it's about the experience... it's all psychological. And since food is so central to our existence, it's emotional too. Everyone wants to claim it's ALL about convenience... but truly, it goes so much deeper than just that.

To me, it isn't standard... I don't just automatically know what a term like "thot" means. I heard it and read it for a long time (out of idiot corners of the internet, no less) before I ever found out what it meant. It is truly meaningless.
A term like "simp" though, very understandable. Regardless of what the contrived meanings are, they're intuitively interpreted as derogatory terms, so it all works out.
