I am so glad I never ordered a milkshake when I was in Boston. If someone had served me a glass of shaken chocolate milk, I might have cried. lol
That wouldn't have happened. A milkshake has ice cream in it here too. No idea what saves is talking about. Why would anyone order a shaken up glass of milk if that's what a milkshake is? Just ask for a straw and blow some bubbles into the glass before you drink it if that's the kind of "milkshake" you want.
And people wonder why American performance on international test standards is declining. A bunch of 20-50 year old educated women with access to the internet can't define MILKSHAKE and someone thinks a malt is just a meaningless word without tie to MALTED MILK, which is a real thing.
I'm so much more worked up about this misunderstanding than I should be.
Nope. Ours came first. It's an American term referring to a drink, from 1922, according to Etymonline.com. The Greek frappe wasn't invented until the 1950s.
This is the most bizarre fucking thread. I refuse to believe that everyone in here is intimately acquainted with the term "vocal fry" but me, and yet everyone goes haywire about frappes and Crush.
I'm right here with you.
I'm stuck there and can't get out. Would a milkshake help a vocal fry?

I cede this point. I didn't even read when the Greek one was started because I've always understood frappe to be a drink with coffee in it.
I grew up outside of Hartford and spent summer on Cape Cod and never heard frappe refer to a milkshake. It's super regional. Then again I now live in the land of hoagies and will fight to the death over the proper construction of a cheesesteak.
