[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9527954, member: 7023840"] [I]And I got the immediate reply, "No way! That's impossible! That's .... that's .... that's like saying Tom Brady sucks eggs. What else, Snarf? Do you want to tear down the Green Monster? Do you think the Celtics should be pronounced with a hard C?

Of course, almost no place in New England actually serves "Milk Shakes," even if it is on the menu. It's a frappe. But some places will call their frappes "milk shakes." It has to be one of the weirdest distinctions because for all practical purposes, if you're in New England, if you order a frappe, you will get a milk shake. And if you order a milk shake, you get a milk shake. But there are some places where you can order a milk shake, and not only will you not get a frappe, you most certainly will not get a milk shake.
