An interesting
neologism some people use to refer to that cardboard ring
Starbucks baristas slip around your piping hot paper
latte cup.
"No pansy sleeve, thanks!"
It's as if ordering a low-fat, half
decaf, extra hot no foam latte with a
vanilla shot is somehow an inherently
macho thing, like
bow hunting, and eschewing the
cardboard ring by saying "no pansy sleeve!" tells the other patrons you've not lost your edge since no one in Starbucks can see the
Free Tibet sticker on your
Saab.
