Subject: заголовок Здравствуйте помогите пожалуйста перевести заголовок:Чаевые?Нет кофейные!(там текст про то,что слово tips произошло от аббревиатуры,обозначающей вознаграждение официанту за чашку кофе) |

T-tips? No, C-tips! Расшифровка в тексте. |
| спасибо огромное))) |
| Never heard of such a thing. To tip means to give, or to hand. How on Earth do you see any connection with tea, or coffee? Some people may say that it actually means "To Insure Prompt Service" which is pure nonsense. |

Не все тексты бывают научными. Пишут и для забавы. The origin of tipping is unclear. The most romantic and quaint explanation traces the word "tip" to an 18h-century acronym -- for "to insure promptness," "to improve performance," or "to insure prompt service" -- that appeared on jars in European coffeehouses. Just imagine some slacker college graduate (Cambridge, Class of 1757) pointing to his tip jar, "Karma doth shine upon thee, dude." It's too funny. And, apparently, it's too funny to be true. |
