Years ago I used to work with a guy of Vietnamese heritage. On Thursdays he liked to get some of us to go to a Vietnamese restaurant in the Italian market section of Philadelphia, which was not exactly convenient to Conshohocken, which is where we worked. The choice of meal was all Pho, which is like a giant bowl of beef broth/rice noodle soup, but you got to pick what type of meat went in your soup, like beef, meat balls, tripe, chicken, shrimp, etc. Most everyone would also get these really strong iced coffee drinks with condensed milk. I don't drink coffee, I like tea though. Anyway I used to get this other drink instead of the iced coffee, which contained orange and pink jello, ice, beans and tapioca balls. Even though the waiters, could understand English, my friend used to order everything for us in Vietnamese. He would be rambling on and I could not understand any of what he was saying, except for one part, which sounded an awful lot like "pu**y drink". The waiter would laugh at that. I think he must have been ordering the iced coffees for everyone else. I'm not sure what is funny about iced coffee though.
