In the weeds = Servers use this term when they have so much to do and they get behind and can't seem to get caught up...therefore you are "in the weeds".
86 = "We're 86'd ranch dressing!" ---it just means that the kitchen ran out of ranch dressing, or anything else that could potentially run out.
Slammed = Extremely busy in the restaurant and generally this is when every table is taken and there is now a wait to sit down and eat.
Pop = Used to describe a busy spurt, not necessarily "slammed" but busy enough. :)
Canadians = This is used to describe people who tip bad. They could really be Canadian though, which is where the term originated because Canadians generally don't tip well.
Stiffed = This means that you received next to nothing from a table...usually the change that they don't want.
There are others but these ones are used the most...if anyone can think of anything else feel free to let me know in your comments!
