GrandeWelcome. Grande or Vente?
A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee.
I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an ***** because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". Grande is spanish for large, right? "Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?
Or
Vente
A word that reportedly means "20" in Italian, but at Starbucks it simply means extra-large.

Thanks urban dictionary.
Uh, I'll take an Vente green smoothie.
