I've never 'got'

Standover?

Surly, maybe.

In view of the recent thread.

McDonald's drive thru and then sitting in the car park to eat it.
Go in the fucking shop and eat it you pricks.

You can't throw the rubbish out the window if you're in the building.

How are you meant to make your car fucking stink if you do that?

Listen to podcasts in the car.

Its ears tucked in under a baseball cap.

I'm looking at you professional motorbike racers.

..how Nando’s became a cheeky Nando’s

I think "a cheeky Nando's" is a way of describing a visit to one of their branches, not a label for the thing itself.

What’s the rep of Nando’s, apparently there’s a few in Canada but never had the pleasure.

A cheeky Nando’s is what you might consider having after a few scoops of lager after work on a Friday before going home

Nando’s is a restaurant franchise from South Africa established in the mid 80s. Peri peri recipe used to marinate chicken hails from Mozambique, with black and Portuguese influence I am assuming from its colonial past.

Nando’s is where we tend to go before a gig.. tonight was Micky Flanagan at the O2 arena.. on tonight’s performance 2 stars.. 5 years since his last tour. His material was okay, reinforcing stereotypical views to a 99% white audience, but the venue I think is too big for comedy. Same from David Chapelle last year.. a bit flat..

Thanks, just trying to get a handle on where it sits on the cultural spectrum, this helps!

Nando's in general. I've never had anything from there, cheeky or otherwise.

I thought it just existed purely as a safe place for strangers to meet pre-sex. Is that not where the 'cheeky' part comes from?

maybe, I always associated it with bloke speak.. so maybe termed as a cheap date

I thought it was just a nandos between meals

A cheeky pint at lunchtime/after work is similar. Something you're a bit guilty about, a bogwank perhaps.

This Times article is 10 years old but does explain it a bit: https://archive.is/Kfv94

(Towards the end, not the A list bit)

Cheeky or not, surely we all agree that nandos is wank.

Wank at a modest sit down price though, convenient with minimal service, also good enough for Rihanna, Obama, Beyoncé, Nicola Adams, Beckham

Nah, I quite like a Nandos. Surprisingly good vegan options.

No you're right, I should always judge quality by the endorsement of celebs.

Meh. I like a Nandos, cheeky or not.

Often make it (chicken in pitta) at home too using the marinades.
