Hooters: A restaurant (loosely defined) chain featuring exclusively
'young' women as waitresses, wearing a unvarying costume of white
sneakers, objectionably thick pantyhose ('tights', for those whose
money requires a gravitational field), orange short shorts, and tight
white knit tops featuring the Hooters' owl and the chain's 'Wildesque'
catchphrase: "delightfully tacky yet unrefined".

The typical client is either a 'stroppy' twentysomething, or middle
aged business traveler, both working up their nerve for an evening
with the 'real thing'.

The gustatory gateway drug on the way to prostitution, for both client
and server.

I've been once: Indianapolis during the GP in 2003. The food was
terrible (almost everything is deep fried till unrecognizable), and
we're still waiting on a basket of fries, gratefully. Waitress was
cute enough, if your idea of sexy requires the Miracle/Wonder bra.

....And there really is at least one guy on F-Chat proudly posting
pictures of his TR (perhaps a BB) with the Hooters waitresses he's
pulled. Most would be grateful to meet a guy who doesn't live in his
mother's basement and owns his own car, for a change.

Thank you - I now consider myself educated.

The web site is a real gem. Note the philosophical exploration of
semantics:

"The chain acknowledges that many consider "Hooters" a slang term for a
portion of the female anatomy. Hooters does have an owl inside its logo
and uses an owl theme sufficiently to allow debate to occur over the
meaning's intent. The chain enjoys and benefits from this debate."

The stunning revelation that:

"Hooters hires women who best fit the image of a Hooters Girl"

And the frankly reassuring:

"Hooters will continue to be allowed to hire only women for the job of
Hooters Girl."

I can't wait to visit!

P.S. I note 'clams' and 'chicken wings' are on offer. I assume that
these are only available (at extra cost) in a 'private' dining area.

"Chicken wings"? Just what are the kids calling that?

....You missed the semiotics of the Hooters owl's eyeballs.
