| don't forget to tip your waitress. おひねりをあげることを忘れずにね Explanation: Cinefil-sanが貼られたリンクに書かれているように、西洋のスタンドアップコメディーなんかでは、給料が固定給でウェイトレスなみなので、観客やファンからおひねりをもらってそれを出演料の足しにする傾向があります。日本でも昔は舞台ではおひねりという心付けをあげる風習がありましたが、最近はほとんど見られなくなりました。 |

| Reference: FYI Reference information: Why is the line "Don’t forget to tip your waitress" so common in comedy clubs? Because it’s the comic’s way of saying "Don’t forget how this thing works. It’s not the salary that counts–it’s the tips." The comic is also your waitress, serving you jokes (links) to get you to tip him or her enough to survive long enough for Johnny to call one of them over to the couch. http://blogs.zdnet.com/Gillmor/?p=266 http://thevagninomonologues.blogspot.com/2009/07/dont-forget... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=waitress |
