Cakeage

The word of the day is cakeage; It’s when restaurants charge a fee For bringing in an outside cake, Which never used to be. In fancy places, oenophiles Prefer to bring their wine, So there’s a corkage fee, which many Seem to feel is fine. But up ‘til now, I’ve never heard Of anything called cakeage, Though dot com dictionaries likely Don’t make a mistakeage.

It's a new for me, as well, Ilene, and I've only learned about "oenophiles" from working crossword puzzles. Love the last line...Ogden and I are proud of you.

Let's tell these restaurants, what with their fee for 'cakeage' -- to go jump in the 'lakeage!!'

Cute one. I enjoyed that word of the day when I saw it. I did not think it meant exactly what you are saying but I can see how they could do that if I brought in a homemade cake, or a purchased birthday cake then asked them to serve it to my guest. I get the word of the day as well and enjoy going over the words, and sometimes I try to really learn and use them. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara
